Income Percentile Calculator
See how your salary stacks up against other Singaporeans — by age group, against the national median, and as an estimated income percentile, using official MOM data.
From work, including employer CPF — to match the official basis.
MOM publishes median income separately by sex.

The percentile is an estimate fitted to the official national median and 20th-percentile figures (a log-normal model), so treat it as indicative. Age-group and median comparisons are exact published figures.
Where do you stand?
It's natural to wonder whether you're paid fairly for your age and stage. This tool uses the Ministry of Manpower's published income data to put your salary in context — both against people in your age group and against all full-time employed residents.
Income in Singapore typically rises through your 30s and peaks around your 40s before easing later in your career, and it differs by sex, so comparing against your own age-and-sex median is more meaningful than against the overall average.
Use it as a guide, not a verdict
Pay varies widely by industry, role and company, which these national figures don't capture — so treat the result as a helpful benchmark rather than a definitive judgement. To see what your income means after CPF and tax, try the take-home pay and income tax calculators.
Frequently asked questions
How does my income compare to other Singaporeans?
Enter your gross monthly income (including employer CPF), age group and sex. The calculator shows the median income for people like you, how you compare to the national median, and an estimate of the percentage of full-time employed residents who earn less than you.
Where does the data come from?
From the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), published on data.gov.sg: median gross monthly income from work (including employer CPF) of full-time employed residents, broken down by age group and sex, plus the national median and 20th percentile. The figures are the latest available (2025).
How accurate is the percentile?
The percentile is an estimate. MOM publishes the national median (50th percentile) and the 20th percentile; we fit a log-normal distribution (which income closely follows) to those two points to estimate where any income sits. The age-group and median comparisons, however, are exact published figures.
Should I include employer CPF in my income?
Yes — to match the official basis. MOM's headline income figures include the employer's CPF contribution. If you only know your gross salary, add roughly 17% (the employer CPF rate for those aged 55 and below, up to the wage ceiling).
