Whats the salary you are getting to work here?

Postby masamune » Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:31 am

Hi

just a quick market survey.

Whats the current your Single Expat salary per month like? Is it generally better than Beijing?


Please do not factor in children's education, rental, referring to cash before tax excluding bonuses

I know it wont be too accurate due to industry differences but I hope it will offer a rough guideline.

I will start first.

Thanks

I get paid in Baozi...

This would be my daily wage:

By the way, you are asking a question which answer depends on a million factors, of which location will probably be one of the least important.

In China big brother is much more generous... he doesn't required I pay 30% tax....


What else would it be? Paying tax every 15th week?

I agree... unless you're doing some study on forum members on this site, which is not to be confused with an accurate representation of the expat population in Shanghai.

It's an accurate representation of those expats who have too much time to kill and don't spend all of their free online time looking at fluffy. :lol:

Are you complaining or you are happy? 32% tax is not bad at all for this kind of income.

You are probably missing around 40~50k per month I reckon...

A lot of English teachers earn around that much, 20K a month. Some even less than 10K.

ya, i'm still shocked by this - i'd like to see a real study done (expat specific) on this subject
I think it would be very interesting.

based on the above poll count of 36 - over half said under 30k/month!!
that doesn't even cover my rent.
As expat, i'd be truly interested to see how they live.

Ayall, a lot of us are not spending huge huge amounts on rent. We are not all on expat packages.

thank you all for your honest votes. its just a reality check. sorry if i ruffled some feathers. If its not for the money, it must be the experience that some of the respondents are here for. Im surprised that the 80 - 150k cat is empty considering that theres as much as 22% earning over 150K.

thanks once again.

That should probably start some alarms ringing in your head as to the accuracy of those votes.

Sounds like we need to hang out sometime. I'll introduce you to the truly interesting world of living on a budget.

It's so amazing you'll never want to turn back to your old spendy ways.
