How informatics nurse specialist pay ranges in Cambodia

A good way to think about salary in Cambodia is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all informatics nurse specialists in Cambodia earn less than 38,281,500 KHR a year, and the other half earn more.

The middle 50% of informatics nurse specialists sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 16,320,700 KHR. The highest stretch to 56,280,700 KHR, 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.

Informatics nurse specialist pay by experience in Cambodia

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an informatics nurse specialist in Cambodia, 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 informatics nurse specialist salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

    18,479,600 KHR

Informatics nurse specialist pay by education in Cambodia

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving informatics nurse specialist pay in Cambodia. 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.

Informatics nurse specialist gender pay gap in Cambodia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Cambodia is no exception. Male informatics nurse specialists in Cambodia earn an average of 32,758,100 KHR a year, while female informatics nurse specialists earn around 38,039,000 KHR. That works out to a 14% gap in favour of women, 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.
