Question:


I'm a chem. eng. with 7yrs work ex. I am being offered 480000 Yen/mnth in Japan. With a wife and kid and no car is it good or not. The company also said that they will provide for office transportation and no bonus. How much approx. will i be able to save? Whats the average expenditure per month on utilities, food, some shopping and sight seeing.

Answer:


480000yen per month isn't that bad, you will make more money then the national average per employee a company pays. It's an above then average monthly salary.

With a family it becomes a bit more difficult but not terrible.
Your wife will qualify for a dependent status, which allows part time work (currently the laws are being revised to allow full time work to take affect in about 2 years), so additional part-time income is possible.
