The new year is here and with it, new data on the labour market and salaries in Singapore. British recruitment giant PageGroup through its Michael Page arm is first to the punch in 2026 with its annual Salary Guide.

Specialising in recruitment of mid- to senior-level professionals for corporations, the company builds salary projections for the year ahead based on its own data, which it then lists across 13 sectors and presents with minimum, median and maximum salary bands.

Their full report consists of over 400 roles which you can view on their site linked above. We’re focusing on those listed as paying a minimum of S$100,000 per year—or a bit over S$8,300 per month.

In addition, I extracted the maximum salaries for each role, to give you an idea of the difference between entry salaries at each level and the potential at the higher end.

Here’s the filtered list for 2026. All figures below are gross amounts in SG and include bonuses and incentives:

Steady but cautious market in Singapore

While the situation in Singapore remains stable, with low unemployment and positive real growth in incomes, Michael Page’s Singapore Senior Managing Director, Nilay Khandelwal, notes that employers remain cautious given the global uncertainty, which is reflected in extended time-to-hire—it has grown by 5 to 10% as compared to 2024.

Singapore’s consistent policy environment and strong business fundamentals continue to foster confidence and attract investment.

Nilay Khandelwal

Which is why, those bold enough to look for a career switch could still hope to get a salary boost of 10 to 15%—or around two to three times more than the expected annual average. If you’re already a bit above the annual median of S$70,000, it might just be enough to get you up into the S$100,000 club.

Depending on your speciality, there seems to be quite a few paths to achieve that in 2026.
