Salary ranges

We already know that an Employee Benefits Coordinator can earn between 9,460 BGN and 27,480 BGN on average in Bulgaria. 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).

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