How to Negotiate Salary in Singapore
Use this salary guide, MOM's Occupational Wages Survey, and platforms like JobStreet or LinkedIn Salary Insights to confirm the market range for your exact role and level. Going into a negotiation with data makes your ask feel reasonable rather than arbitrary.
Give a range where your target is near the bottom (e.g., "I am looking at SGD 6,500 to 7,500"). This anchors high while giving the employer room to feel they negotiated. If you say just one number, they will almost always come in lower.
In Singapore, look beyond base salary:
AWS (13th month / Annual Wage Supplement) — standard in many companies
Performance bonus (variable, commonly 1 to 3 months in banking)
CPF contributions (employer pays 17% for employees under 55)
Medical benefits, flexible leave, and remote work policies
Training and development budget
A role offering SGD 5,500 base with 2 months bonus and full benefits can be worth more than SGD 6,000 base with nothing extra.
