When it comes to negotiating salaries, one important component to consider is your transportation costs to and fro work for the whole month. The difference between the actual amount paid and your cost of transportation is the real amount you are paid. If you don't get this right, you would just realize that your employer is just giving you transport money to come work for him/ her. You have to, first of all, know the real cost of you getting to that proposed workplace in the worst possible conditions. This can be rain, scarcity of fuel, and so on.
I think the ideal budget for transport from your income monthly should not be more than 10- 15% of the monthly income. Anything beyond that, you are not being paid a salary but being given transport money. When you subtract your transport fare monthly from your monthly income, something substantial should remain for you to use and take care of other expenses for that month. If your transportation is more than 10-15% of your monthly income, you should consider quitting that job or relocating to live closer to the workplace. Don't our calculations again and see if your job is worth it.
