Average Maintenance Store Clerk Salary in Mexico for 2026
A maintenance store clerk in Mexico earns about 119,900 MXN a year. That's 70% below the national average of 398,300 MXN.
Pay ranges widely from country to country and from role to role. The lowest reported salaries in Mexico sit around 65,760 MXN a year, while the very top stretches to 183,600 MXN. Everything on this page is in Mexican peso (MXN, symbol $), which lets you compare numbers like-for-like without worrying about exchange rates.
The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay. Most reported salaries include the benefits that are common in Mexico, such as housing or transport allowances, which is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing against a country where those are usually paid on top.
How much does a maintenance store clerk make in Mexico?
A typical maintenance store clerk working in Mexico brings home around 9,991 MXN a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 65,760 MXN, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 183,600 MXN for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.
The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior maintenance store clerk working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.
How maintenance store clerk pay ranges in Mexico
A good way to think about salary in Mexico is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all maintenance store clerks in Mexico earn less than 111,700 MXN 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 78,400 MXN (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 136,100 MXN (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of maintenance store clerks sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.
The very lowest reported salaries sit around 65,760 MXN. The highest stretch to 183,600 MXN, 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.
Maintenance store clerk pay by experience in Mexico
Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a maintenance store clerk in Mexico, 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 maintenance store clerk salary changes as you move through the career ladder.
- 0-2 Years77,400 MXN
- 2-5 Years+25% from previous96,720 MXN
- 5-10 Years+32% from previous127,700 MXN
- 10-15 Years+16% from previous148,300 MXN
- 15-20 Years+10% from previous163,800 MXN
- 20+ Years+5% from previous172,200 MXN
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 maintenance store clerk 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.
Maintenance store clerk pay by education in Mexico
Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving maintenance store clerk pay in Mexico. 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.

Maintenance store clerk gender pay gap in Mexico
The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Mexico is no exception. Male maintenance store clerks in Mexico earn an average of 124,400 MXN a year, while female maintenance store clerks earn around 117,100 MXN. That works out to a 6% 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.

Pay raises for a maintenance store clerk in Mexico
Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.
A typical worker doing this role in Mexico sees a raise of about 8% every 19 months, which works out to roughly 5% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Maintenance store clerk bonus rates in Mexico
Bonuses are the other half of total compensation, and they vary a lot between jobs and industries. Some roles are paid almost entirely in base salary; others lean heavily on bonus structures tied to revenue, project completion or company performance. Whether a job pays a bonus, how big it is, and how often it lands all factor into whether the headline salary is actually a good offer.
24% of maintenance store clerks in Mexico reported a bonus of some kind in the past twelve months. That makes a maintenance store clerk a low-bonus role overall, which is useful context when you're weighing up a job offer where the base is below market.
Among those who did receive a bonus, the size of the payment varied substantially. Reported bonuses ranged from 1% to 2% of base salary. The remaining 76% of maintenance store clerks reported no bonus at all over the same period.
