Many professionals considering moving from Japan to Myanmar often overlook the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) difference. While a salary in Myanmar might look higher on paper, the cost of living could make it worth less.
Understanding the real value of your income is crucial when negotiating a remote salary or planning a relocation. This calculator helps you determine the equivalent salary you would need in Myanmar to maintain your current standard of living in Japan.
Based on PPP data, the price level in Myanmar is approximately 6.32x that of Japan. This means things are generally more expensive in Myanmar.
You are comparing JPY vs MMK. Exchange rates fluctuate daily, but PPP provides a more stable long-term view of economic value and living standards.
