HOW MUCH DO YOU MAKE ON THE JET PROGRAM? my income, bills, taxes, and budget 💸💸

Today I'll be going through my second-year income, bills, and budget in the first part of the video, and in the second part I'll tell you what taxes and other big expenses will be coming your way!
So, how much do you make on the JET Program? A surprisingly decent amount, in my opinion!
This is just MY experience!! Remember the golden phrase on JET--ESID (every situation is different)! I think mine are about normal for a countryside JET. I have friends who paid 50 bucks for rent and friends that paid 500. But even if you're in Tokyo, the salary is very liveable!

If possible, could you make a video talking about your travels while in JET? I hear from a lot of past JETs that they did get to travel and explore, but I'm trying to picture that in my head and I'm at a loss, like is it looked down if you take holidays? Were your out-of-country trips short? Girl I'm lost, I'd love to travel but I'm concerned about stepping on someone's toes..😅😥

@AllisoninTokyo 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting idea!!! I’ve definitely traveled a lot so I’ll have to add this to my list 😳 I will say that you absolutely will step on some toes but it must be done 😎

Your videos are really help full and they make me less nervous to do the jet program!!😌 But i was wondering how you did all the little things? No one ever really makes videos on how they figured out how to get to school or how long you get till you start working once you move or how you learned to get around?

@AllisoninTokyo 3 жыл бұрын

Ah that’s because it’s different for every situation!! Your supervisor will definitely help you with these things. You should expect to start working right away since you’re being paid, but for me that was going to “summer camp” and helping there since it was summer break!

Hi! You mentioned that there is a new law on income tax exemption and that all JETs have to pay income tax? What I know is that JETs from certain countries don't have to pay taxes for the 1st 2 years. Has the policy changed? Thanks!

@AllisoninTokyo 3 жыл бұрын

Actually it might not be all countries! The policy has changed for American JETs as of this year and now they’re responsible for taxes like most other JETs have been, but there may be other countries that are exempt!

@candle55 3 жыл бұрын

Is the salary always set and stone when you first start off in the jet programme ? Is it inappropriate to ask for a higher salary because I plan on getting a degree in education and I have experience in teaching . Also I did not understand what you meant about American taxes? You don't have to pay them if your living in Japan??

@AllisoninTokyo 3 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately there’s no negotiation whatsoever, but you do get standard pay raises every year. If you have all these qualifications I’d suggest taking a paycut for JET for a year and start looking for better paying jobs after. Alternatively you may be able to find a job at an international school or something from abroad, but these jobs are highly competitive. 😔 And for taxes, I meant that you aren’t taxed on income made in Japan under a certain amount (forgot what it exactly is but it’s way more than teachers make)! You still pay Japanese taxes 😆 Sorry if I was unclear

My brain did a "record scratch" when you said that you have a car and didn't take pub trans. I get that you were in a country-ish area then but is that normal where you were?

@AllisoninTokyo 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it was required as I couldn’t physically get to some schools without one! Same for other rural jets. Some get placed near their schools, but you really never know til you’re there! Public transportation is actually pretty limited in the countryside 😭

yes! I have met male jets with very long hair (down to their waist), so I don't see why the opposite would be a problem. Piercings and visible tattoos are a problem, but any hairstyle (as long as it's a naturalish color) should be fine!

When you're a Jet, You're a Jet all the way From your first cigarette To your last dyin' day. When you're a Jet, Let them do what they can, You got brothers around, You're a family man. You're never alone, You're never disconnected. You're home with your own- When company's expected, You're well protected! Then you are set With a capital J, Which you'll never forget Till they cart you away. When you're a Jet, You stay A Jet!
