Expats salary guide

KingKong87, there is no fixed expat guideline about salaries in Indonesia, not anywhere else. It's simple, some companies will pay little whereas others will pay a lot, same goes for the perks.

I know a local General Manager who is working for an American company and his salary is around IDR100 million per month and if he terminates he will get several billion rupiah. But I also know another local General Manager of a 5 star American Hotel who earns around IDR15 million.

English teachers can earn from IDR10 million to 30 million depending on their experience and position. I know a Country Director of an English Language School who is earning IDR94 million including the overseas allowance and they get a free luxury apartment, medical and repatriation package etc.

So basically, different companies will offer different salaries and different packages. If I were in your position, I would be aiming at earning upwards of IDR70 million per month plus all the perks. But if I was desperate and willing to earn less then at least aim for IDR50 million per month and try to get housing included.
