Salary ranges

We already know that a Health and Safety Officer can earn between 7,030 GIP and 26,900 GIP on average in Gibraltar. This is known as the range in statistics.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 17,100 GIP, and 50% of the population earn more than 17,100 GIP.

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.
