You counted tax without Social insurance?

FT's (some kind of) insurance is required, so my count is 633 rambonies. It might be even less in Guizhou, because we are 'high' in the mountains.

The OP asked about tax. That's what I quoted. 

 

The he link I shared will also calculate social insurance for foreigners. Though how many cities/provinces currently enforce social insurance on foreigners? Not many. 

 

What sort of insurance do you pay? Employers are supposed to provide medical insurance.

Yeah, mandatory Medical insurance is Law requirement for FTs. 

Rep at my new place, has Release letter. She told me, she's waiting for FEC Cancel cert. and last Medical insurance file.

It looks, MI history or something connected to previous Insurance is required, when you're changing working place or maybe that's requirement of new Guizhou insurance Co.

 

I looked closely at your link, because I am in the same bracket (12k), and I don't really understand difference (insurance or no) on link.

Unfortunaqtely that website only calculates soclial insurance for a limigted number of citites.

 

Gross pay of 12k......

With only tax taken out you'll take home 11115 (885 tax)

With tax and social insurance taken out (best case Wuhan!) you'll take home 10053.40 (619.60 tax and 1327 social insurance).

 

So best to work somewhere that doesn't enforce social insurance on us! Especially as it also costs the employer a further 3744 in social insurance (again, Wuhan rates)

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
