STARLUX Airlines

We estimate a captain at around $195K a year. That is our own estimate from publicly available information, not a figure STARLUX Airlines publishes. Pay is in Taiwan dollars and every figure here is before tax; income tax applies in Taiwan. Pay runs over 13 months, with an extra month at the end of the year. The actual figure moves with the aircraft type, years of service and the routes flown.

We estimate a first officer at around $123K a year once flying the line. That is our own estimate from publicly available information, not a figure STARLUX Airlines publishes. Pay during training is lower, and every figure here is before Taiwanese income tax.

Every figure on this page is gross, before income tax. Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies, and we do not publish one. Airlines based in countries with no personal income tax — the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — leave more of the same gross figure in your hand.
