Do International school salaries 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. The Far East, followed by the Middle East, provides the biggest savings. Many set their sights on Western Europe, but local taxes and a high cost of living minimizes any savings.
