I am trying to find the LQA and other allowances for Daegu, Korea. Any information will be very appreciated.
TeacherMama K in Daegu Cola is 20% and the LQA is like 33k for a family I think.

TeacherMama K in Daegu Yes, 20% of your salary. I found a COLA calculator (which I can't seem to link to) and a link to the LQA rates, https://webapps.dodea.edu/lqarates/lqarates.cfm

It is listed under Taegu, Korea.

Still a nice addition to your salary but not 25%.

I just don't want people to assume tha...See More
