How wall and floor tiler pay ranges in Indonesia

Half of all wall and floor tilers in Indonesia earn less than 47,640,400 IDR a year, and the other half earn more.

The middle 50% of wall and floor tilers sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

Wall and floor tiler gender pay gap in Indonesia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Indonesia is no exception. Male wall and floor tilers in Indonesia earn an average of 48,961,500 IDR a year, while female wall and floor tilers earn around 46,199,800 IDR. That works out to a 6% 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.
