It’s not a lot, but it’s enough to live there. Since rent is covered, you’ll be fine with all expenses.
I can’t imagine the housing being the best in the world, if that’s the salary they pay.
It’s enough to live a similar quality life of normal Toyama citizens.
If rent is taken care of. You won’t be rich or close to it but Toyama looks like a great coastal town.
What’s your experience level and specialisation? I was being paid more than that when I did a one-year stint as an English teacher. Unless you’re entry level, that’s a low salary for a programmer.
If you don’t have to pay rent? Holy *shit* yes. You will easily save money.
I can’t believe this is even a question
You make more than twice the minimum wage AND you get your rent covered. Bro you’re good. As a programmer, you could be making much more though. Like twice that amount with a bit of experience under your belt!
How much would rent be in Toyama? I estimate a less than 5 year old, 1 bedroom 30m^2 to be around 50,000 a month.
Certainly enough to live, although for a programmer, I’d say it’s a below average compensation.
Its more than enough.
I live in Osaka with my girlfriend. We both earn 270k a month or about 220k after tax etc.
100k a month for rent an utilities so 50k each and I spent 15k a week on food and fun.
In all I can save 110k every month.
It’s enough to live but there are tech companies paying a lot more and allowing people to live anywhere in Japan.
E.g PayPay, Mercari, etc. These types of companies start at 2-3x that amount for devs.
