So we've looked at the average salaries a Manufacturing Manager will earn in India. The next interesting data point is the distribution of salaries.

Salary ranges

We already know that a Manufacturing Manager can earn between 286,400 INR and 917,200 INR on average in India. This is known as the range in statistics.

The difference between the maximum and minimum values is a good indicator of variability in salaries, and can be used by employers to figure out how much they can expect to pay, and for employees to know how much they can earn.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 597,800 INR, and 50% of the population earn more than 597,800 INR.

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).
