Do International school salaries for teaching overseas permit significant savings?
Savings are almost certain: but the amount varies. It may depend more on the cost of living or housing benefit, than on the gross salary level. A single teacher could save from $5,000 to $35,000 annually, depending on the school and location. A teaching couple can save much more teaching abroad. The Far East, followed by the Middle East, provide the biggest savings for those teaching overseas. Many set their sights on Western Europe, but local taxes and a high cost of living minimizes any savings.
