Distribution of Motel Manager Salaries in Kuwait

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

Salary ranges

We already know that a Motel Manager can earn between 10,100 KWD and 24,820 KWD on average in Kuwait. 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 Motel Manager in Kuwait is 12,580 KWD. This is the middle value in the distribution of salaries.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 12,580 KWD, and 50% of the population earn more than 12,580 KWD.

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 Motel Manager salary in Kuwait, 25% of the population are earning less than 11,300 KWD while 75% of the population earn more than 11,300 KWD.

75% of the population earn less than 15,700 KWD, and 25% of the population earn more than 15,700 KWD.

Like the median salary, the 25th and 75th percentile salaries can be used to determine which quartile you fall into so that you know whether you are being paid well enough compared to others in your profession and location.

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 your salary is lower than the average and the median salary, it could indicate you are not being paid well enough.
  • 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.
