Median salaries vary widely by country from $23,207 USD in China to $160,409 USD in Switzerland. Salaries also increase substantially with greater experience in project management, such as a 283% increase in median salary in China from those with less than 3 years experience to over 20 years experience. The report provides detailed salary data by country broken down by factors such as position, experience, industry, project size and more.

The report includes eight major position descriptions/levels in reporting the data. PMI worked with a third-party research firm, as
well as with a volunteer group of PMI members, in order to make these descriptions as meaningful and “real-world” as possible.
The use of these position descriptions to cross-tabulate the data throughout this report makes such information useful to
everyone— from entry-level project managers to senior executives in project management.
In addition, the analysis of 15 demographic variables relating to compensation makes this report a must-have for project
management employees and employers alike, not to mention compensation committees, human resource departments and
executive recruiters interested in the project management profession.
Within each country, annualized salary information is shown across each of the following variables:
 Position Description  Gender
 Years Work Experience  Department/Function
 Years Worked in Key Techniques  Industry
 Years Worked in Project Management  Type of Project
 Highest Formal Education Level
Obtained
 Number of Employees in Entire
Organization
 Degree in Project Management  Average Project Team Size
 PMP®
Status  Typical Project Budget
 Training Per Year
The report also includes reported salary increases over the past 12 months and expected salary increases over the next 12 months,
as well as information on the presence of career paths for project managers across the globe and employee benefits such as stock
options, pension plans and vacation days.
Lastly, as a member benefit, PMI members can access a customized salary query at no charge by visiting the Members Area of the
PMI website (http://www.PMI.org). This query has been enhanced to include the following salary variables:
 Country Position
 Industry*
 Company size (annual revenues)*
 State and metropolitan area (U.S. salary queries only)
 Province (Canadian salary queries only)
 PMP®
Status
 Option to exclude “self-employed” respondents (because self-employed data can skew results)
*Available for Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Singapore, UK and U.S. salary queries only

Data Considerations
The validity of data in the report, as in all survey research, is impacted by sample sizes. In some cases, the level of analysis in this
report results in a small sample size. Small sample sizes provide less reliable summary statistics, such as means and medians,
whereas larger sample sizes result in more reliable data. Therefore, salary data are presented in the report only if at least ten
individuals provided information for a given response choice. That is, no information (denoted by “–” in the tables) is shown
in this report unless there are at least ten respondents for a given education level, industry affiliation, company size, etc. Although
the number ten is an arbitrary number, PMI has used this threshold in previous salary survey reports. Furthermore, requiring such
a minimum does assure respondent anonymity and provides a greater level of reliability in the data. Sample sizes are reported in
all tables by using the symbol “n”. Percentages less than 0.5% are noted by the symbol “*”.
Reporting of Compensation Data
Although this survey did include questions about alternative compensation methods (such as bonuses), those earnings are not
included in the “salary” figures. Instead, earnings from other methods are included in the “total compensation” figures.
Furthermore, only those respondents who reported that they are employed “full-time” are included in the salary data.
Salary data are presented for the 25th percentile, 50th percentile (median), 75th percentile and mean. A description of each
follows:
25th percentile - The value above which 75% of respondents earned more. For example, if the 25th
percentile for annualized salary was $60,000, then 75% of survey respondents earned
more than $60,000.
50th percentile - Also known as the median. The value at which half of all respondents earned more and
half earned less. For example, if the 50th percentile for annualized salary was $80,000,
then 50% of survey respondents earned more than $80,000 and 50% earned less than
$80,000.
75th percentile - The value above which 25% of respondents earned more. For example, if the 75th
percentile for annualized salary was $100,000, then 25% of survey respondents earned
more than $100,000.
Mean - Also known as the arithmetic average. The mean is more susceptible to outliers
(unusually large or small numbers) in the data than the median.

Summary of Findings
General Overview
Most participants (71%) report that their total compensation (including salary, bonus and other forms of compensation) increased
over the 12 months prior to completing the salary survey, with nearly one third of respondents reporting increases of at least 5%
over that time period. This is impressive given the impact the sluggish global economy has had on overall employment figures.
The median annualized salary recorded in this survey, across all countries, roles and experience levels is $92,000 (USD).
Approximately 75% of respondents earned at least $65,168 (USD), and the upper 25% earned at least $118,000 (USD). However,
as one would expect, median salary varied greatly depending on a number of key demographic factors, the greatest of which are:
Country of employment
Number of years experience in project managementPosition/Role
Average size of projects managed, including average project budget and average project team size
A more detailed analysis of these factors follows.

Country of Employment
As seen in the table below, the median salary (when converted to U.S. Dollars using normal exchange rates) for someone in the
project management profession varies widely from country to country. The country with the highest median salary ($160,409
USD) is Switzerland, whereas the country with the lowest median salary is China ($23,207 USD).

Number of Years Experience in Project Management
Although the total number of years of work experience does appear to impact salary, the stronger correlation is with the number of
years a person has actually worked within the project management profession.
Not surprisingly, the difference in median salary varies by country. The most dramatic increase is seen in China. The median
salary ranges from $18,566 (USD) for those just starting out in the project management field to $71,169 (USD) for those who have
been in the field over 20 years. This represents an increase of over 280% from low-to-high experience in the field. The difference
in median salary is not as striking in Sweden. For those with less than three years experience, the median salary is $71,150
compared with $100,000 (USD) for those practicing project management for 20 years or more.

Project Size
The size of projects managed, in terms of average number of team members and average project budget, also appears to have a
positive correlation with annual salary. For instance, in Taiwan, those managing larger teams (20 or more people) have a median
salary that is 54% higher than those managing teams of 1to 4 people. Likewise, in Spain, those managing projects with budgets of
$10 million or more earn 54% more than those with projects under $100,000 and 27% more than those with projects with budgets
