How Long Does It Take to Save Up to Buy a Luxury House in the Menteng Area with the Jakarta Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP)?

UMP (Regional Minimum Wage) Jakarta is the minimum wage standard set by the Jakarta Provincial Government for workers in that region. UMP Jakarta is part of the national wage system applied throughout Indonesia. Each province has its own UMR (Regional Minimum Wage), reflecting the differences in living costs and inflation rates in each region. However, the received wage amount will also be adjusted depending on job level, work experience, length of service, and workload. Companies need to ensure that employees receive a salary commensurate with their abilities and work experience.

Quoting from CNBC Indonesia, North Maluku is the province with the highest UMP increase in 2024, set to rise by 7.50% or Rp221,646.57 to Rp3,200,000 from the 2023 UMP of Rp2,976,720. Meanwhile, the UMP for Jakarta in 2024 is Rp5,067,381. This figure represents an increase of 3.6% or the equivalent of Rp165,583.

Assume using one of the luxury properties from Ray White Menteng with an approximate price range of IDR 50 billion, covering an area of 733 square meters, equipped with 11 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. To calculate how long it takes to save up and buy a house in the Menteng area with the Jakarta Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP), we need to consider several factors such as the salary amount, the target house price, and the percentage of the salary that can be allocated for savings each month.                                     

  • The Jakarta Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) amount in 2024 is approximately IDR 5,067,381 per month.
  • Target House Price in the Menteng Area. 
    House prices in the Menteng area can vary significantly depending on the type, size, and facilities. For illustration, we can estimate the target house price to be around IDR 50 billion.
  • Percentage of Salary Allocatable for Savings.
    To determine how much money can be allocated for savings each month, we can use a specific percentage of the salary. For example, we can assume 50% of the salary for savings.

With that assumption, we can calculate the amount of money that can be saved each month: 

  • Monthly Savings Amount: Salary x Savings Percentage
  • Monthly Savings Amount: IDR 5,067,381 x 50% = IDR 2,533,690


Next, we can calculate how much time is needed to reach the savings target:



Fantastic! So, assuming the Jakarta Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) is IDR 5,067,381 per month and allocating 50% of the salary for savings, it would take approximately 19,734.06 months or 1,644.5 years to reach the savings target of IDR 50 billion. Even if you use the entire salary to acquire the house, it would still take around 9,867.029 months or 844 years.

Please note that this is only a rough estimate, and the actual situation may be influenced by factors such as changes in salary, inflation rates, or other additional income. For a more accurate financial plan, it's advisable to consult with a financial or banking expert.
