A Japanese workers total income mainly depends on the type of Job but other factors play into the rate such as area and gender. In this video we explore how much Japanese earn, the Japan average annual income as well as detail the japan average monthly income for specific jobs in jobs in Japan. If you are interested in working in job or wondering how to get a job in Japan, then this video may be a good resource as it will provide insight on the Japan minimum wage and average salaries for specific Japanese jobs. When looking at the average salary in Japan, it's also helpful to see the average working hours in japan. I also detail the average salary for an English teacher in Japan for those who are interested. After watching this video, let me know if you think the average Japanese salary and work life is better or worse than yours. Sometimes Japanese workers and Japan work life gets a portrayed terribly in media, but based on Japan working hours it doesn't seem that bad. Also, Japan has many national Holidays in addition to a minimum of 10 paid annual leave days. Working in Japan may not be that bad, but it also depends on the company so it is important to choose wisely. The minimum wage in Japan also ranks quite hight compared to most companies and is covered in this video.

[@tomassolano5601]

Nothing against Paolo but he is taking things a little out of Context and not looking at the numbers closely, looking at averages the work day in Japan averages out to be 7.39 work hours per day, not including social work obligations like getting drinks with coworkers being more of an obligation than a choice. When you do the same math with US numbers, taking out weekends and having an average PTO of 11 days, with 8 holidays a year you get 7.26 work hours average per day. While people in the US might work more hours overall, they work more days, have shorter shifts and do not have the same social obligations of going out and drinking with coworkers, which is still somewhat like work. It is not time you can freely dispose of and have to take into account.

[@robertwilsoniii2048]

Yeah but ramen managers make 1.7x the national average salary so I guess he works longer hours for increased pay. Japan is cool because no one is privileged.

The Japanese might have less "on the book" work hours than the US and other countries. But culturally you are pretty much expected to work several hours "off the clock" every day, take work home and work on holidays. We had a several Japanese from our Tokyo office transfer to our Boston office, they couldn't believe it the first day when at 4:00pm everybody started packing up and leaving the office, they didn't understand what was going on, they thought there was an off-site meeting everybody was going to. Their minds were blown when we said, "Nope, we work 8 hours and then clock out. No overtime, no working from home, the second the clock hit's 4:00pm we're done, the office shuts down, the lights go off and we go home."

[@gothicherie6691]

Same for China, it’s like a race of who leaves the latest. If u leave on time means ur not hard working and doesn’t want promotion. However in US, it rly depends on the company, even tho gov regulation says otherwise, some companies would basically tell employee to block out and then still work, good companies will actually be “time to go home don’t bring work”

Having worked in Japan and the US as an engineer, I would say that engineers in Japan are significantly underpaid. In most companies they are paid the same as the non-technical staff. But in the US, engineer pay can rival that of company executives, doctors and lawyers. Even low performing engineers can earn $100k a year with high performing ones earning north of $500k.

[@empress2529]

Indeed, the engineers are crazy underpaid there (while super appreciated worldwide) If they would learn fluent english, they could start leaving Japan

In Japan, if you tell people you make $500k and work for a company, people don’t believe. To them, 500k means you are running your own business. Public impression is no salary worker earns more than 150k, though reality is some do but people just don’t know.

Although that’s true there’s many ways to get around it. Also the only living cost that’s more expensive is the rent and if you live in the suburb it’s not even that bad. The tax rate is the same all across Japan too.

[@Drownedinblood]

It's really not that bad, at least looking from apt prices. If you need to live in the middle of Tokyo, it's obviously going to be expensive, but if you live in the outer areas, it's fine, and travel is quick and easy for the most part. Your local neighborhood will also likely have almost everything you need too. If you were to live in the countryside of Japan, your expenses go way down, but then it's pretty inconvenient.

I moved away from Tokyo to the US in 2019 and realized that the cost of living in Tokyo basically remained the same (due to deflationary and minimal inflation). While the cost of eating out in the US had grown over 50% in 20 years (rough calculation using some general comparisons - fast food meals were about 6-7 dollars back in 2000 are now around 10+ dollars today; $20 dinners are now around $30). A bowl of ramen in Tokyo today remains about 800-1000 yen, similar to that when I moved there in 2001. On a side note, I can't believe how expensive a bowl of ramen is here in Southern California, over $20 including tax and tip.

[@misskizzz]

It’s crazy how much the prices has jumped here in the US. “Dollar menus” aren’t really dollar menus anymore and you are spot on about fast food prices jumping to roughly $10 per meal! The pandemic has opened my eyes to a lot of unnecessary spending which is why I mostly eat at home now. It is more cost effective and healthier. Whatever I used to crave eating out, I learned to create my own version at home which always tastes 100x’s better than the restaurant’s because I get to choose my own seasonings.

Living cost is mostly rent and other extras. And it varies by city you live in, distance from Station, shared, etc. You can find decent room for around 50000 yen. Then it costs around 50000yen for everything else like food, utility, etc. If you drink a lot, like to go to clubs, then it becomes quite expensive.
