Salary ranges

We already know that a Creditors Clerk can earn between 130,400 NOK and 454,900 NOK on average in Norway. This is known as the range in statistics.

The difference between the maximum and minimum values is a good indicator of variability in salaries, and can be used by employers to figure out how much they can expect to pay, and for employees to know how much they can earn.

Median salary

The median salary for a Creditors Clerk in Norway is 308,200 NOK. This is the middle value in the distribution of salaries.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 308,200 NOK, and 50% of the population earn more than 308,200 NOK.

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

Percentiles are similar to the median salary, but instead of looking at the middle value, they look at the values in the top and bottom half of the distribution.

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.
