A typical production supervisor working in Argentina brings home around 58,183 ARS a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 357,300 ARS, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 1,077,700 ARS for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

How production supervisor pay ranges in Argentina

A good way to think about salary in Argentina is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all production supervisors in Argentina earn less than 683,800 ARS 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 467,700 ARS (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 862,400 ARS (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of production supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 357,300 ARS. The highest stretch to 1,077,700 ARS, 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.

Production supervisor pay by experience in Argentina

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a production supervisor in Argentina, 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 production supervisor salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    397,900 ARS
  • 2-5 Years
    +32% from previous
    524,400 ARS
  • 5-10 Years
    +40% from previous
    731,700 ARS
  • 10-15 Years
    +20% from previous
    879,700 ARS

    +9% from previous
    956,200 ARS
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    1,032,400 ARS

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 40%. That is the point at which a production supervisor 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.


Production supervisor pay by education in Argentina

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving production supervisor pay in Argentina. 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.

Below is the average production supervisor salary in Argentina broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Production supervisor gender pay gap in Argentina

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Argentina is no exception. Male production supervisors in Argentina earn an average of 728,500 ARS a year, while female production supervisors earn around 671,000 ARS. That works out to a 9% 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.
