Hi everyone,
Currently considering a role in Japan, advertising between 8-9M JPY per year. Just running thru financial estimates to see if its viable; running this through a tax calculator comes out at 5.9ish JPY after tax per year, equating to around 450K JPY per month (going super conservative here)
Would this be doable/are this estimates correct?
Rent + utilities: budgeting 150K JPY for a 1 bedroom/studio with assigned parking (must have) + 10K for utilities
Health insurance/other insurances/taxes: ? (Advice on this would be appreciated)
Phone/internet: 10K JPY per month
Food + leisure: 50K JPY per month
Car ownership/taxes: 50K per month? Advice on this would be appreciated! Won't be driving much during weekdays, but would be nice to have a car to get around on weekends etc. Will be looking at something pretty old, neighbourhood garage etc (reasonably mechanically minded myself)
Coming out at around 260K per month all in if I am correct? How does this work out for Tokyo? I don't intend on living in the major city centres, and would prefer 45min max for a commute on weekdays via metro.
Thanks!
