Salary ranges

We already know that a Live In Carer can earn between 73,880 MXN and 233,900 MXN on average in Mexico. 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).
