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

Salary ranges

We already know that a Metallurgist can earn between 454,300 ARS and 1,273,300 ARS on average in Argentina. 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.

Median salary

The median salary for a Metallurgist in Argentina is 774,200 ARS. This is the middle value in the distribution of salaries.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 774,200 ARS, and 50% of the population earn more than 774,200 ARS.

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).

Percentiles

Percentiles are similar to the median salary, but instead of looking at the middle value, they look at the values in the top and bottom half of the distribution.

For the average Metallurgist salary in Argentina, 25% of the population are earning less than 552,400 ARS while 75% of the population earn more than 552,400 ARS.

75% of the population earn less than 938,700 ARS, and 25% of the population earn more than 938,700 ARS.

The difference between a median and an average salary

The median and average salary are both indicators you can use to see if you are being paid fairly based on the overall population.

  • If your salary is higher than the average and the median salary, you are earning well compared to others.

  • If you are somewhere in between then it's tricky to determine if you are being paid well enough and you might need to research more closely.
