Introduction
Knowing the value of project management certifications, experience and skills can be a great
advantage for organizations seeking to fill project management roles, as well as for individuals
competing to qualify for those roles.
To offer informed insight into this area, PMI publishes its biennial salary survey. For 15 years, this
comprehensive report has been an industry-leading source of data, helping employers to better

earning potential.
With information from more than 26,000 respondents in 34 countries, and salary data reported in local
currency, this ninth edition of the survey, Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey, is a
significant resource for project management practitioners and their employers, as well as
compensation committees, human resource departments and executive recruiters.

Survey Highlights

Certifications such as PMIs globally-recognized Project Management Professional (PMP)

respondents, those with a PMP certification garner a higher salary (20% higher on average)
than those without a PMP certification.
The median annual salary, across all countries, roles and experience levels, is $81,000 (USD).
Twenty-seven percent of participants reported salary increases of at least 5% in the year before
they completed the survey.
Number of years of project management experience continues to have an impressive impact on
salaries across the globein Singapore, for example, the median salary ranges from $47,657
(USD) for those just starting out in the project management field to $131,972 (USD) for those
who have been in the field for 20 years or more. This represents an increase of 177% from low
to high experience in the field.

The report includes eight major position descriptions/levels in reporting the data. PMI worked with a third-party research firm,
as well as with a volunteer group of PMI members, to make these descriptions as meaningful and real-world as possible. The
use of these position descriptions to cross-tabulate the data throughout this report makes such information useful to everyone
from entry-level project managers to senior executives in project management.
In addition, the analysis of 15 demographic variables relating to compensation makes this report a must-have for project
management employees and employers alike, not to mention compensation committees, human resource departments and
executive recruiters interested in the project management profession.
Within each country, annualized salary information is shown across each of the following variables:

Position Description
Years of Work Experience
Years Worked in Key Techniques
Years Worked in Project Management
Highest Formal Education Level Obtained
Degree in Project Management
PMP Status
Training Per Year

Gender
Department/Function
Industry
Type of Project
Number of Employees in Entire Organization
Average Project Team Size
Typical Project Budget

The report also includes reported salary increases over the past 12 months and expected salary increases over the next 12
months, as well as information on the presence of career paths for project managers across the globe and employee benefits
such as stock options, pension plans and vacation days.
Lastly, as one of their member benefits, PMI members can access a customized salary query at no charge. This query has been
enhanced to include the following salary variables:

Country
Position
Industry*
Company Size (annual revenues)*
State and Metropolitan Area (U.S. salary queries only)
Province (Canadian salary queries only)
PMP status
Option to Exclude Self-employed Respondents (because self-employed data can skew results)

Data Considerations
The validity of data in the report, as in all survey research, is impacted by sample sizes. In some cases, the level of analysis in
this report results in a small sample size. Small sample sizes provide less reliable summary statistics, such as means and
medians, whereas larger sample sizes result in more reliable data. Therefore, salary data are presented in the report only if
at least ten individuals provided information for a given response choice. That means that no information (denoted by --
in the tables) is shown in this report unless there are at least ten respondents for a given education level, industry affiliation,
company size, etc. Although the number ten is an arbitrary number, PMI has used this threshold in previous salary survey
reports. Furthermore, requiring such a minimum does ensure respondent anonymity and provides a greater level of reliability in
the data. Sample sizes are reported in all tables by using the symbol n. Percentages less than 0.5% are noted by the symbol
* .

Reporting of Compensation Data


Although this survey did include questions about alternative compensation methods (such as bonuses), those earnings are not
included in the salary figures. Instead, earnings from other methods are included in the total compensation figures.
Furthermore, only those respondents who reported that they are employed full-time are included in the salary data.
Salary data are presented for the 25th percentile, 50th percentile (median), 75th percentile and mean. A description of each
follows:
25th percentile

The value above which 75% of respondents earned more. For example, if the 25th
percentile for annualized salary was $60,000, then 75% of survey respondents earned
more than $60,000.

50th percentile

Also known as the median. The value at which half of all respondents earned more and
half earned less. For example, if the 50th percentile for annualized salary was $80,000,
then 50% of survey respondents earned more than $80,000 and 50% earned less than
$80,000.

75th percentile

The value above which 25% of respondents earned more. For example, if the 75th
percentile for annualized salary was $100,000, then 25% of survey respondents earned
more than $100,000.

Mean

Also known as the arithmetic average. The mean is more susceptible to outliers
(unusually large or small numbers) in the data than the median.

Summary of Findings
General Overview
Most participants (72%) report that their total compensation (including salary, bonus and other forms of compensation)
increased over the 12 months prior to completing the salary survey, with over one-fourth (27%) of respondents reporting
increases of at least 5% over that time period. This is impressive given the impact the sluggish global economy has had on
overall employment figures.
The median annualized salary recorded in this survey, across all countries, roles and experience levels is $81,000 (USD).
Approximately 75% of respondents earned at least $53,689 (USD), and the upper 25% earned at least $110,000 (USD). However,
as one would expect, median salary varied greatly depending on a number of key demographic factors, the greatest of which
are the following:

Country of employment
Number of years of experience in project management
PMP Certification Status
Position/role
Average size of projects managed, including average project budget and average project team size

A more detailed analysis of these factors follows.

As seen in the table below, the median salary (when converted to U.S. dollars using normal exchange rates) for someone in the
project management profession varies widely from country to country. The country with the highest median salary ($130,000
USD) is Switzerland, whereas the country with the lowest median salary is Egypt ($19,602 USD).

Number of Years of Experience in Project Management


Although the total number of years of work experience does appear to impact salary, the stronger correlation is with the
number of years a person has actually worked within the project management profession.
Not surprisingly, the difference in median salary varies by country. The most dramatic increase is seen in Singapore. The
median salary ranges from $47,657 (USD) for those just starting out in the project management field to $131,972 (USD) for
those who have been in the field for 20 years or more. This represents an increase of 177% from low to high experience in the
field. The difference in median salary is not as striking in China. For those with less than three years experience, the median
salary is $21,073 compared with $29,178 (USD) for those practicing project management for 20 years or more.

PMP Certification Status

The majority of participants in this study have the PMP certification. As the table below shows, those with the certification
earn more than those without in virtually all of the countries, though differences do vary by country. The largest differential is
noted in South Africa where PMP holders have a median salary 47% higher than those who do not hold the certification.
Another telling factor is the length of time a person has held the designation of PMP. In nearly all countries, median salary
steadily increases with PMP tenure. In Taiwan and Saudi Arabia, the median salary of those who have been certified for 10 or
more years is more than double those who have been certified for 5 years or fewer.

Project Size
The size of projects managed, in terms of average number of team members and average project budget, also appears to have
a positive correlation with annual salary. For instance, in South Africa, those managing projects with larger teams (20 or more
people) have a median salary that is 72% higher than those managing teams of one to four people. Likewise, in Hong Kong,
those managing projects with budgets of $10 million or more earn 81% more than those with projects under $100,000 and 54%
more than those with projects with budgets between $100,000 and $499,999.

from 34 different countries. Countries included in the sampling were selected based on two factors: concentration of
PMI members within a given country and the desire to represent all regions of the globe.
The survey invitation was sent via an email that included a link to the web-based survey. Using a web-based survey
benefited the research in several ways, including the ability to survey a large number of respondents at a relatively low
cost (as compared to other data collection methods), a condensed data collection time period and a fairly high
response rate.
PMI contracted with a third-party market research vendor, Quantum Performance Solutions (QPS), for this project. QPS
used its PeriscopeIQ web survey technology platform (www.periscopeiq.com) to conduct this research. QPS is a global
strategy consulting and market research firm with a focus on scientific rigor and research-based methodologies. The
salary survey was conducted according to QPS's best compensation survey practices, including confidentiality of
individual responses.
The first email invitation to the web-based survey was sent to 209,834 professionals on 4 March 2015. Non-responders
were sent a total of three reminder emails throughout the four-week field period, which ended on 6 April 2015. Data
collection for the survey closed with a total of 36,501 completed surveys, yielding a response rate of 17%.
The data collected were run through extensive quality checks by QPS, resulting in the elimination of 10,154 cases
based on the following criteria:
Reason
Not full-time
Selected poor fit for job position
Selected undefined country
Analyzed to be an anomaly
Analyzed to be an outlier or violated other best
compensation practice principles
Excluded job titles

As shown in the table above, 759 respondents were eliminated from the data because they noted that the position descriptions
provided did not adequately represent their current job responsibilities. These 759 respondents represent only 2.1% of the total
respondent population, which indicates that the position descriptions provided in the survey are fairly accurate and widely
used.
As a result of this data cleaning process, a total of 26,347 respondents were included in the full report.
Due to the fact that a stratified sampling methodology was used rather than a random sampling, data are not reported
in aggregate form (all countries combined together) in this report. Therefore, we have not calculated an overall
sample error for the entire sample, but have instead included sample error estimates for each country in the table
below.
