When do I get paid?

In Japan, it is common for salaries to be deposited into your bank account once a month.

[Payment Schedule]
Many companies operate on a system where “pay for one month’s work is deposited into your bank account on a set date the following month.”
Therefore, you will not receive your salary immediately after arriving in Japan; it may take about 1 to 1.5 months to receive your first paycheck.
Example: Start date April 1 → April’s salary is paid at the end of May
(*Pay periods and payment dates vary by company)

[Deductions from Your Salary]
・Social insurance premiums
・Taxes
・Dormitory fees (if applicable)
・Utility bills

*The “monthly salary” listed in job postings is the amount before these deductions (gross pay).
The actual amount you receive (take-home pay) will be lower.
Example: Monthly salary of 200,000 yen → Take-home pay: approximately 160,000–180,000 yen
(*Varies depending on conditions)
