It all depends on your standards and situation. I'm going to assume you are going to work in Dhaka on an expat package. Here are some figures in taka. (78 taka = 1 US$)

Monthly Expenses
Rent: 50,000-70,000 for a 3 bedroom apartment in Gulshan/Baridhara/Banano; 1 lakh-1.5lakh for a decent sized house
Driver: 7,000-8,000 tk for someone able to speak (barely) english
Household staff: 5,00-7,000 per live in staff member (again, with some english skills)
