How These Benchmarks Are Built

Every figure is drawn from the five published 2026 Japan salary guides: Michael Page, Robert Walters, Hays, Morgan McKinley and Robert Half. A role appears only when at least two guides price it, and each page shows the guides behind its numbers along with the gap between the lowest and highest published figure. Agency fees shown beside the medians are industry-typical rates, never attributed to any single guide.
