If you read the figures in a job listing for this work at face value, you will misunderstand them every time, because the way they are written differs from other industries.
This article lines up the rates of the shops that actually publish their pay as figures. Of the 89 shops listed on this site, 84 have a recruiting page, and of those, 29 publish their pay as an amount.
First, the most common misunderstanding
“¥8,000 an hour” does not mean ¥64,000 for eight hours. An hourly figure on a job site generally refers not to an hourly wage for all working time including waiting, but to the pay rate per hour spent with a customer. If nobody books you, you earn nothing for that time.
Rates at shops that publish their pay
Of the shops that publish their pay, these are the 15 whose amounts can be compared by course length, as written on their official recruiting pages. All amounts are per booking.
| Shop | 60 min | 90 min | 120 min | Overnight | 30-min extension |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RED LINE | ¥11,000 | ¥12,000 | ¥14,000 | ¥23,000 | ¥3,000 |
| DANYU-男遊- | ¥10,000 | ¥11,000 | — | ¥22,000 | — |
| 新宿男道場 | ¥8,000 | ¥10,000 | ¥12,000 | ¥19,000 | — |
| 新宿フレグランス | ¥8,000 | — | ¥11,000 | ¥22,000 | — |

| MINT東京 | ¥8,000 | — | ¥12,000 | — | — |
| Veil東京 | ¥8,000 | ¥10,000 | ¥12,000 | ¥19,000 | ¥3,000 |
| 新宿エンブレイス | ¥7,500 | ¥9,500 | ¥11,500 | — | ¥2,000 |
| 売り専ヒーローズ東京 | ¥7,000 | — | ¥11,000 | ¥16,000 | ¥2,000 |
| FREEDOM 上野店（サロン今池 IN 上野店） | ¥7,000 | — | ¥11,000 | ¥20,000 | — |
| ノワール東京 | ¥7,000 | ¥9,000 | ¥11,000 | ¥22,000 | — |
| JAM! Tokyo | ¥6,500 | — | — | — | — |
| NewRevolution 上野・御徒町店 | ¥6,000 | — | — | — | — |
| CLOVER | ¥6,000 | — | — | — | — |
| アリュール東京 | ¥5,500 | ¥7,000 | ¥9,000 | — | — |
- RED LINE: The 「スタッフ取り分（収入）」 (staff share / income) column on the official recruiting page (excluding transport).
- DANYU-男遊-: Figures from the official recruiting image (20260512kyujin.jpg). The 60-min figure is 「60分指名で1万円」 (¥10,000 per 60-min booking). This does not match the rank-based amounts on a recruiting portal (60 min from ¥9,000)
- 新宿男道場: Amounts from the 《2025年1月のバック率》 (January 2025 pay share) table on the recruiting page. That table's customer prices (90 min ¥19,000, overnight ¥32,000) differ in part from the current system page (90 min ¥20,000, overnight ¥33,000–34,000). The 60 and 120 min figures match on both pages
- 新宿フレグランス: Amounts when working at a hotel. Outcall to a customer's home pays more: ¥10,000 for 1 hour / ¥13,000 for 2 hours / ¥25,000 for a long stay
- 出張個室ジムケイ（GYM-K）: Pay per course as stated on the official recruiting page
- MINT東京: Guaranteed take-home pay for the urisen section on the official recruiting page (60 min ¥8,000, 120 min ¥12,000, 180 min ¥16,000). No figures for 90 min or overnight.
- Veil東京: The pay table on the official recruiting page (basic course / LONG STAY 10 hours).
- 新宿エンブレイス: Pay share for the host role. For the massage role it is ¥7,500 for 60 min / ¥8,500 for 90 min
- 売り専ヒーローズ東京: All are officially stated as 「以上」 (minimum) plus transport. Overnight is the short-booking amount (a long booking is ¥20,000 or more)
- FREEDOM 上野店（サロン今池 IN 上野店）: All are minimums marked with 「〜」. A long stay is the equivalent of overnight
- ノワール東京: Basic course amounts from the official take-home table. Overnight is the 10-hour STAY.
- JAM! Tokyo: Base pay for 60 min in a private room (lowest rank). Higher ranks get ¥7,500–8,500. No amounts for other courses
- NewRevolution 上野・御徒町店: The worker's share is shown on the customer price page, not on the recruiting page
- CLOVER: The minimum from the official recruiting text 「1時間6000円~(7000円以上も可）」 (from ¥6,000 per hour, ¥7,000+ possible). No amounts for other courses.
- アリュール東京: Daily take-home pay for male cast (guaranteed minimum)
For 60 minutes the rate is ¥5,500 to ¥11,000. There are differences between shops, but what matters more than the difference is that this is the amount you get “if you are booked”. What you make in a month is decided not by the rate but by the number of bookings.
What the customer pays, and what you receive
Where the same shop publishes both the price the customer pays and the pay the worker receives, the ratio can be calculated. Here it is for a 60-minute course.
| Shop | Customer pays | You receive | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| RED LINE | ¥15,000 | ¥11,000 | 73% |
| NewRevolution 上野・御徒町店 | ¥9,500 | ¥6,000 | 63% |
| 出張個室ジムケイ（GYM-K） | ¥13,000 | ¥8,000 | 62% |
| ノワール東京 | ¥12,000 | ¥7,000 | 58% |
| MINT東京 | ¥14,000 | ¥8,000 | 57% |
| CLOVER | ¥11,000 | ¥6,000 | 55% |
| 新宿エンブレイス | ¥14,000 | ¥7,500 | 54% |
| 売り専ヒーローズ東京 | ¥13,000 | ¥7,000 | 54% |
| 新宿男道場 | ¥15,000 | ¥8,000 | 53% |
| Veil東京 | ¥15,000 | ¥8,000 | 53% |
| 新宿フレグランス | ¥16,000 | ¥8,000 | 50% |
| アリュール東京 | ¥11,000 | ¥5,500 | 50% |
| FREEDOM 上野店（サロン今池 IN 上野店） | ¥15,000 | ¥7,000 | 47% |
| JAM! Tokyo | ¥16,000 | ¥6,500 | 41% |
The range is 41% to 73%, with a median of 54%. One shop writes on its recruiting page 「指名料金の約60〜90%が給与」 [about 60–90% of the booking fee is your pay], but comparing basic prices with basic pay, it falls within this range. The differences between shops are large, so do not think in averages; check each shop you apply to. The differences come from how additions such as booking fees, options and waiting fees are handled.
Some of the shops in this table show the boy’s share on the customer price page rather than on a recruiting page. For workers, that means you can know your take-home pay before applying.
Customer prices are in our price comparison. We can show both sides of the same shop because we collect prices and pay separately.
How pay works
Pure commission is the norm. Zero bookings means zero pay
The usual arrangement is not hourly employment but being paid part of the course fee the customer pays. A job-site article on pay puts the boy's share at about 60–70% and take-home pay at ¥6,000–8,000 per 60 minutes. It says busy periods can bring 1.5 to 2 times as much and quiet periods half as much, so a practical way to protect yourself is not to set your fixed costs at the level of your best months.

Job sites show figures like 「時給8000円〜」 [from ¥8,000 an hour] and 「1時間7000円〜」 [from ¥7,000 per hour], but these refer not to an hourly wage for all your working time including waiting, but to the pay rate per hour spent with a customer. If nobody books you, you earn nothing for that time. Always ask whether there is any guarantee for waiting time.
Source: 大阪エリアの求人媒体掲載例 (an example listing on an Osaka job site) ↗Examples of published rates by course length
A shop in Shinjuku, Tokyo publishes a rate for each time band on its recruiting page: 「60分：7,500円／90分：9,500円／120分：11,500円／180分：15,500円／延長30分：2,000円」 [60 min ¥7,500 / 90 min ¥9,500 / 120 min ¥11,500 / 180 min ¥15,500 / 30-min extension ¥2,000]. An example from Fukuoka: 「60分6,000円〜9,000円／120分10,000円〜13,000円」 [60 min ¥6,000–9,000 / 120 min ¥10,000–13,000]. Shops that publish a rate table like this are less likely to give you surprises after you join.
Source: 新宿エンブレイス 求人ページ (Shinjuku Embrace recruiting page) ↗Booking fees, option fees and waiting fees are added on top of the basic share
The structure is explained as the basic share plus a booking fee of ¥2,000–3,000, option fees of +¥3,000–10,000 and a waiting fee of about ¥3,000–5,000. Some shops are said to pass on the whole booking fee. Whether these are included in daily pay differs by shop, so check the breakdown.
Source: ウリセン系求人の給与解説 (an article on pay in urisen-type jobs) ↗“¥1 million a month” is advertising, not a guarantee
A boys-bar job site in Shinjuku really does carry wording like 「入店初月100万円越え 多数」 [many earned over ¥1 million in their first month], but this is the shop's advertising. A job-site article from the same industry explains that the first month starts at around ¥50,000–150,000. Judge not by the ceiling but by whether you can still live on it when income drops.

Daily pay helps with cash flow, but there is a separate problem: tax is most likely not being withheld. Because you keep the whole amount you receive, it is easy to find you have no money left when the tax falls due the following year. What to do about it is in Urisen income and tax.
How to read “¥1 million a month”
Recruiting pages really do say things like the following. We show these separately from our own text as self-reported claims and do not use them in our ratings, because no third party can verify them.
- ボーイズバー シュート: 求人ページに「月収100万も夢じゃない」「日払い2万以上可」と記載（公式サイトの記載）
- JAM! Tokyo: 「過去最高日給=88500円！」「過去最高月収 １ヵ月￥１４０万！！」（求人）
- 東京キッズ: 「あなたのがんばりで１日６万円以上も可能です」「月収100万円以上のボーイもいますよ!!」（求人）
- RED LINE: 求人ポータル：「時給1万2千円の業界最高の取り分、月120万円実績あり!」
- Veil東京: 「週2〜3日稼働で月収25万〜40万円以上可能。」
- TOP SECRET: 求人ページに「20代前半でも月に50万〜100万円稼ぐことも可能」と記載
- ノワール東京: 「月に100万円、稼げます。チップを含めたらもっと。」(求人ページ)
- 男性出張個室マッサージアクション: 日払い１万以上！月収５０万も夢じゃない！
- カレッジの王様: 不定期出勤や副業のペースでも、普通に月収50～60万を超える方が多数在籍しています。（求人サイト deli-host.com）
There is no need to assume they are lies; as a ceiling, these figures are possible. But if you use them to decide, think in terms of the floor, not the ceiling. Whether you can live through a month with no bookings decides whether you can keep going.
Job-site articles from the same industry also explain that the first month starts at around ¥50,000–150,000, and that income varies from 1.5–2 times as much in busy periods to half as much in quiet ones.
Four things to look at when working out your take-home pay
- The rate for each course length. Look not only at 60 minutes but at the rates for the lengths you are actually likely to be booked for
- Additions for booking fees, options and waiting. The part added on top of the basic share. Few shops publish this
- Whether there is a waiting guarantee, and how much. This decides your income on a day with no bookings
- What is deducted.Dorm fees, supplies, fines. Under the Freelance Act, stating the terms of the deal in writing is the commissioning side’s obligation
How to confirm these four at the interview is in our guide for workers, and how much you can find out before the interview is in Urisen interviews.
Frequently asked questions
Q.Does a "¥8,000 an hour" listing mean ¥64,000 for eight hours?
No. On job sites, an "hourly" figure generally refers not to an hourly wage for all working time including waiting, but to the pay rate per hour spent with a customer. If nobody books you, you earn nothing for that time. Always ask whether there is any guarantee for waiting time.
Q.What happens on a day when nobody books me?
At a pure-commission shop, in principle you earn nothing. Of the 84 shops with a recruiting page, 12 say they have a guaranteed-minimum system for days with no bookings. None of them, however, publishes the amount. Ask at the interview how much it is and what it depends on (hours and days worked).
Q.How much of what the customer pays do I receive?
At the 14 shops where we could confirm both the price and the pay, what you receive for a 60-minute course is 41% to 73% of what the customer pays, with a median of 54%. This compares basic prices only and does not include booking fees or options.
Q.Is "¥1 million a month" true?
Recruiting pages really do say things like 「月収100万円以上のボーイもいますよ!!」 [some boys earn over ¥1 million a month!!] and 「月に100万円、稼げます。」 [you can earn ¥1 million a month]. But this is the shops' advertising, not a guarantee. We show such figures separately from our own text as self-reported claims and do not use them in our ratings.
Q.Is there daily pay?
46 shops publish their pay timing, and all of them include daily pay. Whether daily pay includes booking bonuses and options differs by shop, so check the breakdown. Also note that tax is most likely not being withheld from daily pay.
Summary
- An “hourly” figure is the rate per hour with a customer. It does not cover waiting time
- Only 29 shops publish their pay as a figure
- The 60-minute rate is ¥5,500 to ¥11,000
- You receive 41–73% (median 54%) of what the customer pays
- “¥1 million a month” is advertising of the ceiling. Judge by the floor
Shops that publish their pay can be found under Shops that publish their recruiting terms.
The amounts are figures reproduced from each shop’s official recruiting page. Pay varies with the number of bookings, so we do not guarantee any income. The ratios are a simple comparison of basic prices and do not include booking fees, options or deductions.
