The average monthly wage in China<\/a> is around $2,800, or 20,000 RMB. Yes, that wasn’t difficult at all. However, before you start counting your ill-gotten gains, you should be aware of the wide range of differences across schools and even cities. Both the teaching<\/a> qualifications and pay in China are difficult to grasp at first.<\/p>\n

Chinese cities are ranked according to a tier system<\/p>\n

Teaching in China is broken down into three categories depending on the size, economy and general development of a city or town. When looking for a new job, it’s vital to bear in mind that the salary you may expect and the benefits<\/a> you can expect from your new company might differ greatly from city to city.<\/p>\n

Tier 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen<\/a><\/p>\n

The average monthly cost of living<\/a> in China is around RMB 7500.<\/p>\n

Tier 1 cities in China are some of the most sophisticated, rich, and cosmopolitan in the nation, and they match any developed metropolis on the planet. Comforts like foreign<\/a> cuisine and Western-style residences may be easily found in these places, but expect to pay more than in other areas.<\/p>\n

Tier 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cities including as Nanjing, Chengdu, Kunming, Wuhan, and Xiamen are also included on the list.<\/p>\n

Around RMB 5000 a month is the average cost of living.<\/p>\n

The best way to define Tier 2 cities \u2018up and coming\u2019 \u2014 these cities have many of the same features as tier 1 but with significantly less recognition. If you’re looking for a job in a fast-growing city in China, you’ll be able to save a considerable portion of your pay by working in one of these places.<\/p>\n

Tier 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guilin, Yangzhou and Zhongshan are among the cities that make up China’s southern province of Fujian.<\/p>\n

Around RMB 3000\/month is the average cost of living in the city.<\/p>\n

Tier 3 cities trail behind the other tiers in both economic and structural development, but are nevertheless an excellent alternative for people wishing to live inexpensively<\/a> in an authentic Chinese atmosphere. If you expect a lot of luxury, you’ll be disappointed. Housing is basic and specialty food<\/a> is scarce.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve looked at even one job in China then you\u2019ve realized that most of them provide more than simply money. Things like lodging, airfare, and year-end incentives are the most well-known, but the specifics of each may vary much like your income.<\/p>\n

The good news<\/a> is that you can always bargain on them if you believe they are unfair or insufficient compared to what other employers are giving. What to anticipate is as follows:<\/p>\n

Housing<\/p>\n

As long as you are working full time, housing<\/a> is nearly usually given with a few exceptions, especially firms that promise to pay extra so that you may locate your own accommodation. Generally, accommodation is either provided for you or you are given a stipend and help to acquire your own.<\/p>\n

If your school offers housing, excellent, you can stop reading. If your school gives a stipend, you may anticipate it to be anywhere from 1,000-3,000 RMB depending on the location. Deposits and rental agency fees are still required to be paid by the renter, even if this only covers a fraction of their rent.<\/p>\n

\"ESL<\/p>\n

Flights<\/p>\n

There are just a few foreign schools and prestigious universities that provide students the opportunity to fly for free as part of their year-end bonuses. Most of the time, if not always, when you apply for these employment, you’ll be offered relocation assistance for you and your family.<\/p>\n

Bonus<\/p>\n

A bonus in China may be anything from a stipend to a free plane ticket, therefore I recommend making it an essential part of any employment offer. At the conclusion of your contract, you’ll often get a bonus of 75% to 100% of your monthly wage (basically one-month extra pay).<\/p>\n

There are many schools out there that do not provide incentives at all, but the premise remains the same: bonuses are fantastic and you should make sure one is included in your contract before you sign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The average monthly wage in China is around $2,800, or 20,000 RMB.
