Taiwan salary percentile checker (2024 distribution)
Enter your annual pay and see which percentile it falls in, using the official decile figures for Taiwan's employees.
- Median, all employees
- NT$546,000
- Median, Taiwanese full-time employees
- NT$585,000 Between the median and Q3
Q1 is the amount a quarter of employees earn less than; Q3 is the amount three quarters earn less than.
The percentile is estimated by straight-line interpolation between official breakpoints. It is not an official figure.
Basis: 2024 (ROC year 113) data. It covers foreign migrant workers and part-time employees, and excludes civil servants, staff of schools from primary level up, agriculture, forestry, fishing and animal husbandry, and the self-employed. Amounts are before tax.
DGBAS has not yet published the 2025 (ROC year 114) edition. This tool will be updated once it is out.

This estimate is for reference only and is not tax or financial advice. Figures come from the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) for 2024 (ROC year 113). The percentile is this tool's interpolation; the official distribution is as published by DGBAS.

結果の見方
The big number is your estimated percentile among all employees: around percentile 60 means about 60% of employees earn less than you. The subtitle shows how far you are from the all-employee median. The scale shows your place between the official decile breakpoints. Below the scale, the median rows show how you compare with Taiwanese full-time employees and with the age group, industry and sex you chose.
この結果が出るしくみ
This tool estimates where your total annual pay falls among Taiwan employees in industry and services, using DGBAS 2024 data.
DGBAS publishes the pay at each decile (D1 to D9) and at the first and third quartiles for all employees. Between two neighbouring official breakpoints, this tool assumes employees are spread evenly along the pay range and interpolates in a straight line, then rounds to a whole percentile.
Below D1 or above D9 there is no official bound, so no percentile is shown.
For the Taiwanese full-time group and for the age, industry and sex groups, DGBAS gives only the first quartile, median and third quartile. The tool therefore only tells you which segment you fall in, not a percentile.
Pay means total annual pay before tax: regular pay plus year-end bonuses, other bonuses, employee profit sharing and overtime pay.

よくある質問
What is the median annual pay in Taiwan?
In 2024 (ROC year 113), the median total annual pay of all employees in industry and services was NT$546,000. For Taiwanese full-time employees only it was NT$585,000. These are DGBAS figures published on 2025-11-25.
Why is the median lower than the average?
The 2024 average was NT$732,000 against a median of NT$546,000. A small number of very high earners pulls the average up, while the median only looks at the person in the middle. DGBAS data shows about 68.75% of employees earned less than the average.
How much do I need to earn to be in the top 10%?
Among all employees in 2024, total annual pay above NT$1,336,000 (the ninth decile, D9) puts you in the top 10%. DGBAS does not publish deciles for Taiwanese full-time employees alone, so this threshold includes migrant workers and part-time employees.
Who is included in this statistic, and who is not?
It covers paid employees of establishments in industry and services: Taiwanese and foreign, full-time and part-time. It excludes agriculture, forestry, fishing and animal husbandry, government agencies, schools from primary level up, religious and professional organisations, the self-employed and employers. People who worked fewer than 30 days in the year are left out, and Kinmen and Lienchiang are not covered.
How do I turn my monthly pay into total annual pay?
Add up everything you are paid in a year before tax: twelve months of pay, year-end and festival bonuses, performance bonuses, employee profit sharing and overtime pay. Leave out dividends, interest, side income, rent, and the insurance and pension your employer pays on top. For example, NT$50,000 a month plus a two-month year-end bonus and no overtime comes to NT$50,000 x 14 = NT$700,000.
Why is there no finer percentile than deciles?
DGBAS publishes only deciles (D1 to D9) and the first and third quartiles. This tool estimates the percentile between neighbouring breakpoints assuming an even spread, so the result is an interpolated estimate and not an official number. Beyond D1 and D9 there is no official bound; the top tail keeps stretching, so the tool gives no number there.
