Salary Explorer has prepared a list of African countries with the highest average monthly pay for workers.
This list was created using Statista and Salary Explorer data. It should be noted that the given average salaries range from the minimum wage and are only designed to act as indicators.
Salary Explorer calculates average salaries based on comments from respondents. The average monthly wage is calculated by adding salary samples together, dividing them by the number of respondents. While the average income is a good indicator in general, it does not reveal the complete story.
The minimum wage, on the other hand, is the legal minimum wage that a person can receive in a specific country. Employers are prohibited from paying employees less than the minimum wage.
