How to use the salary guide
- Search for your role, or the one you want, and open its page.
- Read the range, not just one number: the 25th percentile, the median, and the 75th percentile.
- Place yourself honestly in that range, based on your experience and what you can show.
- Use it to set expectations before an offer or a raise conversation, alongside what you know about the employer.

Salary guide questions
Where does the salary data come from?
For Singapore it's the Ministry of Manpower's Occupational Wage Survey, published on data.gov.sg. For Australia it's the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Characteristics of Employment survey. Both are official government survey data, not scraped job ads or guesses.
What do 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile mean?
Line up everyone in a role from lowest to highest pay. The median is the person in the middle, so half earn less and half earn more. The 25th percentile is the level a quarter of people earn below, and the 75th is the level a quarter earn above. The range between them shows what is typical, without being pulled around by a few extreme salaries.
Is the pay shown monthly or yearly, and is it gross?
Monthly, and gross (before tax and any mandatory deductions). Singapore's survey publishes a monthly figure directly. Australia's publishes a weekly figure, which we convert to a monthly-equivalent (weekly × 52 ÷ 12) so every country compares the same way — each country's page says which applies.
Why can't I find my exact job title?
The survey groups jobs into official occupations, so a newer, company-specific, or very specific title may not appear as its own row. Singapore's survey covers about 600 individual job titles; Australia's free public data only breaks pay down into about 50 broader occupation groups (e.g. "ICT Professionals" rather than "Backend Engineer"), which is the most detailed free breakdown it publishes. Search for the closest role, or share what your role pays. Community-reported titles appear publicly once enough people have reported them.
How do community-reported salaries work?
Anyone can add a salary anonymously, with no account, name, email, or company. A role is shown publicly only after at least five reports, so no single person can be identified. Reports are self-reported and unverified.
How should I use this in a salary negotiation?
Use it as a reference point, not a rule. Pay depends on your experience, the employer, and the market. Find your role's range, place yourself in it honestly, and be ready to explain what you bring.
