A typical shipping and receiving clerk working in Mexico brings home around 14,350 MXN a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 93,100 MXN, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 265,000 MXN for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior shipping and receiving clerk working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.

How shipping and receiving clerk pay ranges in Mexico

A good way to think about salary in Mexico is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all shipping and receiving clerks in Mexico earn less than 163,800 MXN 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 116,420 MXN (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 201,100 MXN (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of shipping and receiving clerks sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 93,100 MXN. The highest stretch to 265,000 MXN, 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.

Shipping and receiving clerk pay by experience in Mexico

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a shipping and receiving clerk in Mexico, 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 shipping and receiving clerk salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    106,500 MXN
  • 2-5 Years
    +21% from previous
    128,900 MXN
  • 5-10 Years

    +11% from previous
    239,000 MXN
  • 20+ Years
    +4% from previous
    249,600 MXN

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 44%. That is the point at which a shipping and receiving clerk 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.

Shipping and receiving clerk pay by education in Mexico

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving shipping and receiving clerk pay in Mexico. 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 shipping and receiving clerk salary in Mexico broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Shipping and receiving clerk gender pay gap in Mexico

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Mexico is no exception. Male shipping and receiving clerks in Mexico earn an average of 183,600 MXN a year, while female shipping and receiving clerks earn around 161,300 MXN. That works out to a 14% 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.

Pay raises for a shipping and receiving clerk in Mexico

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Mexico sees a raise of about 9% every 19 months, which works out to roughly 6% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Bonuses are the other half of total compensation, and they vary a lot between jobs and industries. Some roles are paid almost entirely in base salary; others lean heavily on bonus structures tied to revenue, project completion or company performance.
