A typical project sales executive working in Indonesia brings home around 15,900,008 IDR a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 91,560,700 IDR, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 298,799,000 IDR for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How project sales executive pay ranges in Indonesia

A good way to think about salary in Indonesia is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all project sales executives in Indonesia earn less than 197,998,100 IDR 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 130,799,600 IDR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 259,198,700 IDR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of project sales executives sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 91,560,700 IDR. The highest stretch to 298,799,000 IDR, 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.

Project sales executive pay by experience in Indonesia

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a project sales executive in Indonesia, 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 project sales executive salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    107,161,400 IDR
  • 2-5 Years
    +42% from previous
    152,398,600 IDR
  • 5-10 Years
    +31% from previous
    199,199,700 IDR
  • 10-15 Years
    +23% from previous
    244,798,100 IDR
  • 15-20 Years

    260,400,500 IDR
  • 20+ Years
    +10% from previous
    285,599,300 IDR

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 0 - 2 Years to 2 - 5 Years, where pay rises by about 42%. That is the point at which a project sales executive 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.


Project sales executive pay by education in Indonesia

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving project sales executive pay in Indonesia. 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 project sales executive salary in Indonesia broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Project sales executive gender pay gap in Indonesia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Indonesia is no exception. Male project sales executives in Indonesia earn an average of 200,401,500 IDR a year, while female project sales executives earn around 185,999,300 IDR. That works out to a 8% 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.
