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, in order 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
everyonefrom 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 a member benefit, PMI members can access a customized salary query at no charge by visiting the Members Area of the
PMI website (http://www.PMI.org). 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)

*Available for Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, South
Africa, Spain, United Kingdom and United States salary queries only

Report Format

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 is, 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 assure respondent anonymity and provides a greater level of reliability in the data. Sample sizes are reported in
all tables by using the symbol n. Percents 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 US$60,000, then 75% of survey respondents earned
more than US$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
US$80,000, then US50% of survey respondents earned more than US$80,000 and 50%
earned less than US$80,000.

75th percentile

The value above which 25% of respondents earned more. For example, if the 75th
percentile for annualized salary was US$100,000, then 25% of survey respondents earned
more than US$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 (71%) 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 (28%) 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 US$88,399.
Approximately 75% of respondents earned at least US$58,249, and the upper 25% earned at least US$116,183. However, as one
would expect, median salary varied greatly depending on a number of key demographic factors, the greatest of which are:

Country of employment

Number of years of experience in project management

Position/role

Average size of projects managed, including average project budget and average project team size

A more detailed analysis of these factors follows.

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 Peru. The median salary
ranges from US$21,677 for those just starting out in the project management field to US$77,807 for those who have been in the
field for 15 years or more. This represents an increase of nearly 260% 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 of experience, the median salary is US$21,983
compared with US$29,096 for those practicing project management for 20 years or more.

Project Management Salary Survey Eighth Edition

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 Taiwan, those managing projects with larger teams (20 or more people)
have a median salary that is 77% higher than those managing teams of 1 to 4 people. Likewise, in Nigeria, those managing
projects with budgets of US$10 million or more earn 96% more than those with projects under US$100,000 and 72% more than
those with projects with budgets between US$100,000 and US$499,999.

of the business and for achieving maximum return on invested capital. Leads the efforts of the senior executives

Appendix C Sampling Methodology


The PMI Project Management Salary Survey, Eighth Edition, was sent to a stratified sampling of customers from 33
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 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 227,508 professionals on 24 April 2013. Non-responders
were sent a total of three reminder emails throughout the four-week field period, which ended on 22 May 2013. Data
collection for the survey closed with a total of 50,257 completed surveys, yielding a response rate of 22%.
The data collected were run through extensive quality checks by QPS, resulting in the elimination of 13,935 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

Number Deleted
3,018
1,124
426
151
4,821
4,395

As shown in the table above, 1,124 respondents were eliminated from the data because they noted that the position descriptions
provided did not adequately represent their current job responsibilities. These 1,124 respondents represent only 2.2% 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 36,322 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.
