A new blog topic on International School Community<\/a>: Comments and information about salaries at international schools.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every week members are leaving information and comments on the salaries that teachers are making at international schools around the world.\u00a0 Which ones pay more?\u00a0 Which ones do you have to pay very high taxes?\u00a0 Which ones offer tax-free salaries?\u00a0 All important questions to think about when job searching, but where to find the answers to those questions?<\/p>\n

Why do schools keep their salary information so secret?\u00a0 Even at international school job fairs, you don\u2019t really get to see the exact amount of your yearly and monthly salary until you see the contract paperwork.\u00a0 Even then sometimes you don\u2019t know what will be your exact take-home pay each month.\u00a0 At International School Community<\/a>, we want to make the search for salaries easier for international school teachers. In the benefits section of the school profile page, there is a section specifically for salaries.\u00a0 The topic is: \u201cAverage monthly salary after taxes and in what currency (explain taxation situation). How often do you get paid throughout the year?\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are 3 out of the many comments and information related to salaries that have been posted on our website:<\/p>\n

Seoul International School<\/strong>
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>\u201cI have 14 years experience and my Masters. I earn about $1,500 per month in Won (about $400 of that is taken out of my paycheck for a retirement plan which is matched by school which I have access to at the end of the school year), and then another $2,000 in US dollars which is sent to my US account every month. I pay no taxes. The school takes care of it. I am paid 12 times a year although we get the summer pay all at once, in May.\u201d<\/p>\n

Western Int\u2019l School of Shanghai<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cNet salary for someone with over 10 yrs exp is currently 24000 rmb. Not bad in rmb but doesn\u2019t convert very well! Payment is monthly.\u201d<\/p>\n

American International School (Hong Kong)<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cTaxes are low in Hong Kong and there is no sales tax. Teachers must pay for housing, though, and that is quite expensive, unless you want to live outside the city and\/or in substandard accommodation. I was able to live comfortably and travel when I wanted to, but I was not able to save anything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
