Salary ranges

We already know that an Instructional Designer can earn between 56,880 GMD and 174,000 GMD on average in Gambia. This is known as the range in statistics.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 115,520 GMD, and 50% of the population earn more than 115,520 GMD.

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.
