FAQ — Indians Working in Japan
Q: Why do SSW and IT Engineer salaries differ so much?
A: SSW (Specified Skilled Worker) roles are entry-level hands-on jobs in sectors like care, construction, and food service — they are designed for workers without a degree and pay accordingly. IT Engineer visas (Engineer/Specialist in Humanities) are for degree-holders and skilled professionals; compensation scales with experience and the tech stack. An entry-level IT role in Japan can earn 2-3x an SSW care worker salary, and senior engineers or HSP-eligible workers can earn 5-8x more.
Q: Is SSW pay the same as Japanese workers?
A: Yes — by law, SSW workers must receive the same pay as Japanese workers doing the same job in the same company. If your employer pays you less than Japanese colleagues, that is illegal. You can report this to the Labour Standards Inspection Office (労働基準監督署).
Q: How do I calculate my India-equivalent salary in LPA?
A: Take your annual net JPY income, multiply by the current exchange rate to get annual INR, then divide by 100,000 to get LPA. Example: ¥200,000/month net x 12 months x 0.58 rate = Rs 13,92,000/year = 13.9 LPA. This calculator does that automatically in the Annual column.
Q: Does overtime pay count in this calculator?
A: This calculator shows base monthly salary only. Overtime (残業) is paid at 125% of your hourly rate in Japan — many workers earn significantly more with overtime. Check your actual payslip and adjust the JPY input accordingly.
Q: How much should I expect to save monthly?
A: After rent (¥40,000-¥80,000), food (¥30,000-¥50,000), and transport (¥10,000-¥20,000), SSW workers typically save ¥80,000-¥120,000/month. IT engineers with employer housing allowances can save substantially more. Location matters — Tokyo costs more than rural areas.
Q: Is this exchange rate real-time?
A: No — this is a reference rate for estimation. The JPY/INR rate changes daily. Always check the live rate on Wise, Remitly, or your bank before sending money home. The default rate of 0.58 reflects mid-2026 conditions; update the rate input to match today's actual rate.
