List of Asian countries by average wage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the map and list of Asian countries by monthly average wage (annual divided by 12 months) gross and net income (after taxes) average wages for full-time employees in their local currency and in US Dollar. The chart below reflects the average (mean) wage as reported by various data providers. The salary distribution is right-skewed, therefore more than 50% of people earn less than the average gross salary.
