I've been receiving a lot of emails lately asking how much they can earn and save as a Language Teacher in Japan. A safe answer would be, it depends on a lot of things. Are you teaching in school or in language schools or in companies? Are you hired part-time or full-time? Is housing and health insurance part of your benefits or not? Will you be living in big cities, small cities or far-flung areas? If you're living in really rural places, do they have nuclear crisis or none? For transportation, are you going to use a car, the trains, a bicycle or your two feet?
I could go on and on about the many factors or how much you can earn and save as a teacher in Japan.
But let me just share with you my own experience, cause really, that's the best thing I can talk about.
I earn around 200,000 JPY monthly from my work as an ALT. I could earn more or less depending on the number of school days in each month.
