Average Executive Assistant Salary

All our Salary Surveys are updated annually to ensure that our members get up-to-date information regarding the average pay for executive assistants. For some regions, we will show an executive assistant monthly salary, but for others, they will be annual EA salaries. We use highly reliable data from several sources to be able to publish our salary surveys. Additionally, the study cannot measure the amount of non-monetary rewards and benefits that Executive Assistants receive.

Non-monetary rewards

Therefore, Executive Assistants should consider these non-monetary rewards and benefits when considering a future role. Many countries showed that the Executive Assistant Pay Range was quite large. High-paying executive assistant jobs were often found in specific industries, and in some countries, they were found in only some cities.

High-paying Executive Assistant Jobs

Higher-paying Executive Assistant Jobs can be found in many larger cities worldwide. Additionally, many countries showed a salary range for Executive Assistant Job titles. C-Level Executive Assistants with job titles like Executive Assistant to the CEO or CFO etc. tended to be the most senior Executive Assistants and attract the highest salaries for an EA. Meanwhile, Junior Executive Assistants naturally experience lower salaries and more typically receive their hourly salary than with more senior jobs.

Most countries witness a range in salaries between cities, regions and industries. We also noticed that some industries and countries have a work culture geared towards more significant cash bonuses, whilst others will have more weighting for salaries. Cash bonuses can be unpredictable and inconsistent, so we have not included this part of the Executive Assistants’ salaries. If the cash rewards are highly likely to be paid, we have added them as a side note. 

Quality of Life

Perhaps the most critical measure is quality of life. Comparing cities or countries, please consider the cost of living and disposable income. Another element to consider is the level of work-life balance and the possibility of remote or flexible working; please consider this in your career moves.

Testimonials

I found the entire course worked well. The order in which the topics were presented, and the emphasis on the EA role and how it can be used most effectively. The course was guided by the practicalities of the role and included real life examples from both trainer and participants.  I was in awe of the ladies on the course and the positions they hold. I learn that the role is more management/partnership oriented than I had believed. Delighted to know that there are so many more options available for me to pursue.

Our tutor was excellent and fully engaged with each individual, I learnt why looking at the bigger picture and trying to partner my manager where possible was important.
