Salary ranges

We already know that an Area Sales Director can earn between 448,500 MXN and 1,249,900 MXN on average in Mexico. This is known as the range in statistics.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 761,400 MXN, and 50% of the population earn more than 761,400 MXN.

If you are earning more than the median salary, that's a good indicator that you are being paid well.

If you're not earning more than the median salary, your objective should be to increase your earnings to be at least as high as the median salary (which you can do by asking for a pay rise, looking for a better paying job, etc).

Percentiles

The difference between a median and an average salary

The median and average salary are both indicators you can use to see if you are being paid fairly based on the overall population.

  • If your salary is higher than the average and the median salary, you are earning well compared to others.
