Salary ranges

We already know that an EFL Teacher can earn between 217,900 MKD and 757,300 MKD on average in Macedonia. This is known as the range in statistics.

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).
