Tokyo
MEDIUM · sourced, not yet live-verified
MEDIUM, unchanged. The cited Kureba page does carry the published Y1,351/hr, so the figure is supported, but it is a tier-2 aggregator survey rather than a government or employer source, and it is national-multi-platform rather than a Tokyo cut. To promote to HIGH: an MHLW labour-force breakdown for gig delivery (none exists), employer disclosure from Uber Eats Japan, or a Fairwork Japan rating. A blocklisted salary-aggregator cross-source that used to be named in this field has been dropped entirely.
Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

Take-home is gross hourly minus an estimated tax/expense rate per country. See the methodology page for the derivation. This widget assumes you actually work the hours you set. For app-based delivery, a portion of logged-in time is unpaid waiting; the headline rate reflects engaged time only where regulators have defined it.
Cost of living vs. earnings
Pay vs. local labour market
Gross hourly is 52% of local minimum wage, 24% of local median.
Notes
Uber Eats Japan pays per-delivery (¥600-900 incl. incentives, 2-3 deliveries/hr). Cross-verified via 2025 survey (¥1,351 avg) and historical industry sources.
