What is a Decent Salary in South Africa?

There is no one perfect answer to this question. It really depends on what your needs are and how much you want to save for retirement. Below you will find a detailed breakdown based on many criteria.

Below you will find a detailed breakdown based on different criteria.

The Average Salary In South Africa (According To Numbeo)

  • The average salary in South Africa is 31,100 ZAR per month. This equates to about $1,500 USD per month for an average person living in South Africa. While these numbers are very high compared to most countries around the world, they are not enough to live comfortably as it would be considered a low-income earner’s income anywhere else in the world. If you want to have a comfortable lifestyle without compromising your social life or having to worry too much about finances, then you should aim for more than this amount annually!
  • The lowest salary is 7,880 ZAR and the highest salary is 139,000 ZAR (roughly $10k – $140k). These figures reflect what people earn when they are employed as full-time employees over 12 months at their current workplace with no experience (which makes sense). Remember though: these figures don’t consider any bonuses or overtime hours worked which could bring down those averages even further!

Conclusion

So, the next time you hear someone asking about a decent salary in South Africa, you know what to tell them!
