A typical importation supervisor working in Indonesia brings home around 12,699,883 IDR a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 82,561,600 IDR, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 230,401,100 IDR for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How importation supervisor pay ranges in Indonesia

A good way to think about salary in Indonesia is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all importation supervisors in Indonesia earn less than 140,401,100 IDR 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 100,439,300 IDR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 170,399,900 IDR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of importation supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 82,561,600 IDR. The highest stretch to 230,401,100 IDR, 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.

Importation supervisor pay by experience in Indonesia

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an importation supervisor in Indonesia, 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 importation supervisor salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    95,880,900 IDR
  • 2-5 Years
    +26% from previous
    121,199,300 IDR
  • 5-10 Years
    +32% from previous
    159,601,400 IDR
  • 10-15 Years
    +18% from previous
    188,401,800 IDR
  • 15-20 Years
    +10% from previous
    207,600,200 IDR
  • 20+ Years
    +6% from previous
    220,800,400 IDR

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 32%. That is the point at which a importation supervisor 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.


Importation supervisor pay by education in Indonesia

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving importation supervisor pay in Indonesia. 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.

Below is the average importation supervisor salary in Indonesia broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Importation supervisor gender pay gap in Indonesia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Indonesia is no exception. Male importation supervisors in Indonesia earn an average of 157,201,600 IDR a year, while female importation supervisors earn around 146,401,200 IDR. That works out to a 7% 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.
