Thank you to the 480+ organisations that took part in the 2025 National Remuneration Survey. Your contributions produced the most comprehensive view of pay in Namibia to date. Here’s a snapshot of what the data revealed.
Key findings:
- Median monthly salary across all sectors reached N$ 17,900, up 5.4% year-on-year.
- ICT, mining and financial services recorded the highest median pay; agriculture and retail the lowest.
- The gap between entry-level and senior-management pay widened slightly, driven by demand for specialised skills.
- 62% of employers reported adjusting salaries to keep pace with the cost of living.
What it means: pay growth is outpacing several sectors’ productivity, and competition for scarce skills continues to push up remuneration at the top end. Employers are encouraged to benchmark regularly to stay competitive.
Participating organisations have received their full sector benchmarking reports. The summary report is available in our Publications library.
