Engineering Jobs Pay Scale and Salaries in Seoul

Median Salary, maximum and minimum salary, minimum wage, starting salary, and the salary range

All salary figures displayed here are per month except when noted otherwise.

  • Salary Range, Minimum Wage, and Starting Salary

    Salaries in Engineering in Seoul range from 1.2M KRW (starting average salary) to 7.8M KRW (maximum average salary, actual maximum is higher). To clarify, the number presented is not the legally mandated minimum wage. Rather, it represents the lowest figure reported in a salary survey that involved thousands of participants and professionals from across the entire country.

  • Median Salary

    The median income in the field of Engineering is 3.3M KRW, implying that half of the workforce in Seoul earns less than this figure, and the other half earns more. It represents the central value of salaries. As a rule of thumb, you would prefer to be part of the group earning above the median wage, situated on the right-hand side of the salary distribution chart.

  • Percentiles and Salary Scale

    Two values that are highly correlated with the median are the 25th and 75th percentiles. By examining the salary distribution diagram, it is possible to determine that 25% of individuals employed in Engineering in Seoul earn less than 2.5M KRW, while 75% of them earn more. Additionally, the diagram reveals that 75% of individuals earn less than 4.1M KRW, while 25% earn more than that.

  • Pay Scale Structure

    Data was regrouped into brackets to provide a better understanding of what salaries can be expected. This approach was deemed more accurate than relying solely on the average salary, as it offers greater insights into the distribution of salaries in the field of Engineering in Seoul. The analysis revealed that roughly 65% of all reported salaries fell within the range of 1.7M KRW to 3.1M KRW. Approximately 20% of salaries were below the 1.7M KRW mark, while 10% ranged from 3.1M KRW to 3.8M KRW. Only 5% of individuals earned a gross salary of 3.8M KRW or higher.
