Data & Methodology: Your input is benchmarked against the monthly gross wages of Singaporean and permanent resident full-time private sector employees in the Ministry of Manpower’s (MOM) data for Occupational Wages 2023. The data was collected from July to December 2023 and salaries might have risen since then.

Gross wage refers to the sum of basic wage — before deduction of employee Central Provident Fund (CPF) contribution and income tax — and other regular cash payments such as commission and overtime payments. It excludes employer CPF contributions, bonuses, stock options, other lump sum payments and payments-in-kind.

The age group analysis is based on data on gross monthly income from work from MOM’s Labour Force in Singapore 2023 report.
