Check whether your job counts as a PMET under MOM's grouping and compare your gross pay with MOM's 2025 median for your occupation and age group.
PMET stands for professionals, managers, executives and technicians. MOM uses it for jobs in the first three groups of the Singapore Standard Occupational Classification: managers, professionals, and associate professionals and technicians.
Look at your job's SSOC code. If it starts with 1, 2 or 3, it is a PMET job. Clerical, service and sales, trades, machine operator and labourer jobs, codes 4 to 9, are non-PMET.
MOM's Labour Force in Singapore 2025 report puts it at 64.2% of employed residents in 2025, up from 63.8% in 2024.
MOM's Occupational Wages 2025 tables, released on 30 Jun 2026. They show the median basic and gross monthly wage of full-time resident employees in June 2025, for about 520 common occupations.
Basic wage is your base pay. Gross wage adds overtime, commissions, allowances and other regular cash payments. Both are before employee CPF and leave out bonuses and employer CPF.
The median is the middle of everyone in that job across industries and firm sizes. Your industry, firm size, experience and how your employer titles the role all move it. MOM also notes that jobs paid largely in bonuses read lower because bonuses are left out.
No. The wage tables cover full-time resident employees with CPF contributions in private firms with at least 25 staff.
MOM's occupational tables give medians per occupation, not one figure for all PMETs. Use your own occupation's median for a fair comparison.
