What is the average salary in japan (In yen)?
Average salaries are similar to US salaries. Pay scales tend to be much flatter (managers usually don’t make much more than regular workers). “part-time” workers often have pretty poor pay for the amount of work they do. Here’s a chart: http://www.worldsalaries.org/japan.shtml When looking at that chart, note: – Most company workers get a significant “bonus” twice a year (often equal to 2-3 months salary, but that depends on the company and its performance that year). – Income taxes are lower in Japan and usually deducted automatically from your pay, so your gross pay pretty much equals your net pay, unlike in the US. – exchange rates are wonky these days, so don’t trust the yen values in that chart. Yep, housing is expensive in Japan. But you knew that.
