Hello,
So just some context for this. Got a job offer and total income will come to about 850k yen AFTER taxes. With that said this is the budget I’ve been thinking of:
I was estimating something like this for a family of 5 (did it in ranges as obvi a lot of things are dependent on month to month or what rental we get). Kids ages are 7, 5, and 3 by the time we are there.
Total income about 850k JPY after taxes.
Rent minimum 3LDK: 180k-275k
Groceries/Food/Eating out: 100-150k
Utilities: 30k
Phone/Wifi: 15k-25k
Transportation(company covers mine to and from work, so this is mainly for outings on weekends and things like that): 30k-50k
Child expenses: 25k
Miscellaneous expenses: 100k
Low end of ranges would leave me with about 385k JPY per month
High end would leave me with 215k JPY per month.
From what I can find those are realistic lol but I’m not too sure. Does anyone have better insight into this? Hard to get good numbers to reference for a family of 5 there.
Also, if these numbers seem pretty correct, is the left over amount a reasonable amount? Never been paid in yen so want to make sure.
