Salary by Occupation Group (MASCO)

Malaysia Standard Classification of Occupations (MASCO) groups all jobs into 9 major categories. Managers earn nearly 4× more than Elementary workers.

Quick read: If you're in the top 3 categories (Managers, Professionals, Technicians), you earn above the national median. Moving from Technician (RM3,541) to Professional (RM5,821) means a RM2,280 jump — the biggest career upgrade available.

Salary by Industry / Sector

Industry matters more than role in many cases. A clerk in Finance often out-earns a clerk in Retail. Mining & Finance dominate the top, Agriculture at the bottom.

Salary by State (Top 5)

Geography is a salary multiplier. KL-Selangor-Putrajaya is the pay premium cluster. The same job in Sabah or Kelantan can pay 30–40% less.

Salary by Education Level

The gap between tertiary and secondary education has widened in 2026. Degree holders earn nearly 3× more than those with no formal education.
