Unsurprisingly, people who work in the Anime industry only get paid an average of ¥1111 yen per hour or $7.33 per hour. The average yearly sallary is said to be $16k or ¥16151 per year

NAFCA surveyed 323 anime staff, of which 191 (59%) were animators, with 44 unit directors (13.6%), the latter responsible for a divisible unit of production, such as an opening or ending song, or an entire episode/part of a film. The number also included 35 production staff (10.8%), 27 character/mechanical designers (8.4%), 23 voice actors (7.1%), 20 directors, 15 working in coloring, 14 in art, 14 in cinematography, 11 in CG, 10 in sound and 4 screenwriters. NAFCA's data concluded that the overall median hourly wage was 1,111 yen (US$7.33 per hour), with 14% making around only $5.23 hourly. The income report excluded voice actors for this segment, adding that how voice actors work in the anime industry sets them apart from other professions. The report organizers plan a future survey specific to voice actors in the future.

Sadly, it's not getting any better paywise, besides the amount of hours worked on average per month, in a toot I shared a few hours ago.
