Average Telecommunication Logistics Supervisor Salary in Costa Rica for 2026

How much does a telecommunication logistics supervisor make in Costa Rica?

A typical telecommunication logistics supervisor working in Costa Rica brings home around 1,649,950 CRC a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 10,092,500 CRC, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 30,479,000 CRC 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.

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

How telecommunication logistics supervisor pay ranges in Costa Rica

A good way to think about salary in Costa Rica is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all telecommunication logistics supervisors in Costa Rica earn less than 19,439,300 CRC 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 13,319,300 CRC (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 24,478,500 CRC (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of telecommunication logistics supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 10,092,500 CRC. The highest stretch to 30,479,000 CRC, 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.

Telecommunication logistics supervisor pay by experience in Costa Rica

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

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 telecommunication logistics 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.

Telecommunication logistics supervisor pay by education in Costa Rica

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving telecommunication logistics supervisor pay in Costa Rica. 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 telecommunication logistics supervisor salary in Costa Rica broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Telecommunication logistics supervisor gender pay gap in Costa Rica

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Costa Rica is no exception. Male telecommunication logistics supervisors in Costa Rica earn an average of 20,639,100 CRC a year, while female telecommunication logistics supervisors earn around 18,958,500 CRC. 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.

Pay raises for a telecommunication logistics supervisor in Costa Rica

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 Costa Rica sees a raise of about 11% every 17 months, which works out to roughly 8% 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.

Across all jobs in Costa Rica, the national average raise is around 9% every 17 months.
