What is The Average Salary in Singapore And Are You Earning Enough?

Last updated 11 April, 2023

With over 70% of PMETs in Singapore reportedly planning to change jobs in 2023, are you one of them? Even if you're not, knowing the average salary range in your industry can be helpful when you're deciding on a job offer or negotiating your increment.

For some, the pursuit of work and a meaningful career can go hand in hand. For others, work is simply an exchange of time and labour for a stable salary.

Knowing the median salary gives you a glimpse into your own standing relative to others in the workforce and can be very useful when you’re negotiating your salary or thinking of taking your career elsewhere. 

If your income is higher than the median income, good on you! You’re making more money than 50% of the workforce. The reverse is true, too, though don’t be too hard on yourself if you find yourself on the less desirable side of the distribution.

What’s the median salary in Singapore? 

According to the latest data, the median monthly salary from full-time work in Singapore is S$5,070 in 2022, including CPF contributions from employers. 

Compared to 2021’s median monthly salary from full-time work at S$4,680, this represents an increase of about 8.3%. 

It’s also interesting to note that the nominal and real annualised change in median gross monthly income from the year 2012 to 2022 is 2.6% p.a. and 29.3% p.a. respectively.

Without accounting for CPF contributions from employees, the median monthly salary from full-time work in Singapore in 2012 and 2022 is S$3,480 and S$5,070 respectively.


What’s the average salary in Singapore?

As of Jul 2023, the average salary in Singapore stands at S$6,254 per month, including CPF contributions from employers. 

Wages are benchmarked using average monthly income and income from employment is a key indicator of economic well-being. 


Median salary in Singapore by age 

It is fair that as we grow in age and experience, our wages rise. However, the wage increments don't go on infinitely. 

In fact, it holds true only up to a certain point — around the 45-year-old mark — before our wages start tapering off in our golden years. This is corroborated by the data we’ve gathered below for your easy reference.

Of course, many factors go into the mix when it comes to one’s salary. Amidst the rapidly changing times that we work and live in, it is always a good idea to prioritise upskilling to stay relevant. After all, learning never really stops.


What is gross salary?

According to the Ministry of Manpower Singapore, the gross salary is the monthly wages or salaries before deduction of employee CPF contributions and personal income tax.

It comprises basic wages, overtime pay, commissions, tips, other allowances and one-twelfth of annual bonuses. The breakdown of your gross salary or nett salary is reflected in your payslip.

What is gross monthly income then? It simply refers to your total income from employment. You’ve also probably come across the term “minimum wage”. In Singapore, certain sectors have been included in the Progressive Wage Model (PWM), which was introduced in 2012 by NTUC to improve income inequality.

In the retail sector, about 19,000 lower-wage full-time workers will receive pay increments of 8.4% to 8.5% annually for three years from 1 Sept 2022 to 31 Aug 2025.

The government also implemented the Local Qualifying Salary, which stipulates that firms which hire full-time local workers must pay them at least S$1,400. This policy benefits around 159,000 lower wage workers who are not in sectors covered by the PWM.

The personal tax rates start at 0% and are capped at 22% for those earning S$320,000 or more in a year (according to the Year of Assessment 2023) for Singapore residents and a flat rate of 15% to 22% for non-residents (according to the Year of Assessment 2023).

6. How does the average salary in Singapore compare to other countries?

Singapore has the highest average salary compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. When you compare to neighbouring countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, the average monthly salary is significantly higher.

It is also double that of those with secondary and lower education, or graduates from institutions like the Institude of Technical Education (ITE) who earn an average wage of S$2,000 a month, as of 2022.

Regardless of one’s highest education qualification attained, people earn less money when they are young, climb the salary scale and then experience a dip when they are older. This is just a fact of life here in Singapore. 

So, how much is a good salary in Singapore?

After looking at the salary charts above, you’ll probably find the question as helpful as asking “how much should I save?” or “how much do 30 year olds earn in Singapore?”

Apart from getting a promotion, one of the best times to increase your salary is when you have a job offer. On average, jobseekers reported a 20% increase in their salary when they change jobs, with some receiving as much as 38%.

Why are we shining the spotlight on the median salary trend? To encourage you to start thinking about retirement, of course! 

Like it or not, it is crucial that we plan ahead for retirement and commit to putting money aside regularly when we have the means to hustle and earn more money. The hard truth is that our earning ability dips when we’re old. 

You don’t want to wait till it’s too late before regrets become a thing you have to deal with on the daily with little to no extra money to spare. Case in point, retirees who didn’t plan for their retirement only have an average of S$1/day to spend on things they like! Have a look at these shocking statistics — they will push you to get started on your retirement planning.
