Average salary
What is the average salary in Saskatchewan?
The median individual income in Saskatchewan is about $45,470 a year — half of tax filers earn more, half earn less. Published “average salary” figures usually run higher than what a typical worker earns, because a small number of very high incomes pull the mean up: the top 10% in Saskatchewan earn over $123,225. For typical pay in a specific job, check the median wage for your occupation.
