FAQs

The average salary in Indonesia is approximately double the minimum wage in Indonesia; in reality, an employee’s salary will depend on a range of factors including the employee’s location, previous experience, experience level, and market conditions. For markets like Indonesia, employers should go into the hiring process with an open mind and a flexible budget.

It is generally not possible to hire skilled employees at the minimum wage in Indonesia. Compared to other markets, however, average salaries are relatively low. While skilled employees may be hired at a lower cost than in more developed markets, these employees usually expect a higher pay rate than the minimum or even the average salaries.
