Hello everyone,
I apologize in advance if this kind of post is not allowed. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this matter.
Last month, I received an offer to work as a preschool English teacher in Tokyo with a monthly wage of ¥230,000. I am not familiar with the cost of living in Japan, but I have learned that there will be significant deductions from my salary. Could anyone provide an estimate of my take-home pay after all these deductions? Additionally, do you think the wage is acceptable?
I would also like to mention that the salary will not be solely for my personal expenses, as I plan to send money to my elderly parents back home. Moreover, I don't think the company will cover other expenses like housing, meals, etc.
Note: I am a non-native English speaker and do not have an Education degree (I have a degree in Psychology).
Thank you for your insights!
