Additional Notes
Taking home about 60,000 a year after taxes. You also get money back after you file your Chileno taxes. You pay into a unemployment fund and can receive this when you leave. If you stay 4-5 years I believe you would leave with an extra $6,000. The monthly take home pay is including the rent stipend, tax deductions, health care deductions, everything. You pay 1% into the retirement fund and Nido contributes 5%. You can increase what you contribute but Nido caps at 5%. $3,000 leaving allowance for shipping.
