How much can a TEFL teacher earn?

Salaries for TEFL teachers vary hugely depending on what country you are teaching in and how much experience you have. For higher level teachers there are also further qualifications that can help you to reach higher earnings.

It is possible to earn between $39,000 (£25,000) to $60,000 (£38,000) as a TEFL teacher, although if you are looking for your first TEFL job you should expect to earn $22,000 (£14,000) to $39,000 (£25,000).

You should also keep in mind that the cost of living in many countries is much lower than in the USA or Europe and a moderate salary can feel like a very generous salary in certain areas.
