Debated in Parliament on 19 Jan 2015.
Mr Patrick Tay Teck Guan asked the Minister for Manpower as at 2014, what is the breakdown for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents and foreigners who are Professionals, Managers and Executives in Singapore in terms of the 25th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 75th and 80th percentiles of the (i) basic salary, including and excluding employer CPF contributions; and (ii) gross salary, including and excluding employer CPF contributions.
The breakdown of gross monthly income from work by percentiles as at June 2013, for full-time employed residents and Singapore Citizens who are Professionals, Managers and Executives (PMEs) is provided in the table below. Comparable data are only available for gross monthly income and residents and Singaporeans.
As compared to Singaporean PMEs, the gross monthly income of resident PMEs is higher since Permanent Residents typically have to display good employability before they are granted residency.
