374,000 Singaporeans earn S$10,000 per month or more. Here’s who they are and what they do.​

We all know the median income figures for the Singaporean population, but, like every average figure, it’s a bit meaningless for most, because it includes a broad range of people, including the elderly, the young, and those just entering the workforce or those leaving it.

Hence, let’s focus on figures that most Singaporeans would consider aspirational—a professional target in life that’s not obscenely high, but high enough that most could realistically dream of achieving them.

Like a nice, round S$10,000 per month (excluding employer’s CPF).

Nearly one in four Singaporeans makes six figures per year​

Around 24% of full-time employed residents take home around S$100,000 per year. And close to one in five (18%) make S$120,000—or S$10,000 per month.

This amounts to 373,700 people, to be exact, out of the 2.067 million residents working at least 35 hours per week.

Who are they? Where do they work? How educated are they? Does entrepreneurship pay more than employment?

Let’s take a look, starting with the basics: occupation. Which industry pays the best?

What’s interesting, however, is that there are over 6,000 fresh graduates in their late 20s, who have started their careers with a good six-figure pay.

Breakdown by education​

As I reported last month, education pays in Singapore, with the median salary for degree holders hitting S$8,650 in 2024. And you can see this among the highest-paid full-time workers as well.
Nearly 325,000, or 87%, hold a degree, and 9% have a diploma or other professional qualifications.

But there’s hope for everyone, as there are thousands of high earners without advanced education as well.

After all, you don’t need a degree if you own your own company, right?

Over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence will mean that humans will no longer be needed "for most things" in the world, says Bill Gates.

That's what the Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist told comedian Jimmy Fallon during an interview on NBC's "The Tonight Show" in February. At the moment, expertise remains "rare," Gates explained, pointing to human specialists we still rely on in many fields, including "a great doctor" or "a great teacher."

Singapore’s largest taxi operator is debuting its first robotaxis in China to help with “future-proofing” the industry, as rising incomes and ageing populations makes it harder for companies to find drivers.
