Pay by country

Site manager pay, country by country.

One method for every bar: live ads, medians, the sample behind each number. Annual compares to annual, hourly to hourly — never mixed.

Benchmarks — different measures, so they sit beside the chart, not in it:

UK · Adzuna guide: £55,268/yr — advertised annual MEAN, 8,921 salary-bearing ads
Australia · Adzuna guide: A$128,476/yr — advertised annual MEAN, 401 salary-bearing ads
UK · ONS official: full-time “Production managers and directors in construction” earned a median £56,000 in 2025 — earned pay runs below advertised offers.

Every bar: Careerjet live ads, one method — typed salary fields honoured and band-validated, URL-deduplicated, MEDIAN of advertised range midpoints, minimum 10 pay-bearing ads. Periods never mixed: annual compares to annual, hourly to hourly. Dubai monthly ads annualise ×12 (calendar arithmetic, no hours assumptions). Cells that fail to fetch are excluded, never guessed.
The £ column uses ECB reference rates via frankfurter.app, 2026-08-04 · AED via the 3.6725/USD peg · a currency conversion, NOT a purchasing-power or cost-of-living comparison.
Tax and living costs differ wildly — a bigger number abroad is not automatically a better life.
