The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay.

A typical electronics technician working in Gibraltar brings home around 1,483 GIP a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 12,200 GIP, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 30,800 GIP for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

How electronics technician pay ranges in Gibraltar
A good way to think about salary in Gibraltar is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all electronics technicians in Gibraltar earn less than 19,300 GIP a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".
Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 12,800 GIP (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 20,000 GIP (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of electronics technicians sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.
The very lowest reported salaries sit around 12,200 GIP. The highest stretch to 30,800 GIP, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.
Electronics technician pay by experience in Gibraltar
Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an electronics technician in Gibraltar, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical electronics technician salary changes as you move through the career ladder.
- 0-2 Years13,900 GIP
- 2-5 Years+11% from previous15,400 GIP
- 5-10 Years+43% from previous22,000 GIP
- 10-15 Years+15% from previous25,300 GIP
- 15-20 Years+2% from previous25,800 GIP
- 20+ Years+2% from previous26,300 GIP
The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 43%. That is the point at which a electronics technician typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.
Electronics technician pay by education in Gibraltar
Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving electronics technician pay in Gibraltar. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Electronics technician gender pay gap in Gibraltar
The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Gibraltar is no exception. Male electronics technicians in Gibraltar earn an average of 18,600 GIP a year, while female electronics technicians earn around 17,100 GIP. That works out to a 9% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.
A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.
