It's about 300,000 yen per month, however, you have to keep in mind that a bit is taken out every month for things like your pension. You CAN get the pension money back later, though.

After pension, insurance, etc. JET ALTs make around 2500-2800 dollars a month right now (based upon current exchange rates) or around 250,000 yen. In addition JET ALTs get a bonus health insurance policy and all taxes (except for insurance and pension) are paid for you. If you are looking at normal ALTs not just JET, the salary can vary depending where you are or what company you are through. I have heard figures of 200,000 to 350,000 before taxes. JETs on average get no bonus while some private companies do give their ALTs bonuses. This is something to take into consideration and ask about. These year end bonuses can at times be a few months pay.
