Jakarta salaries sit ~30% below the Indonesia average
Jakarta, ID lists 75 careers with observed metro percentiles in IDR. Pay index 0.70 (30% below national); COL 100 vs a US baseline of 100.
Radiologist leads this Jakarta table at Rp 737.330.000 a year, with Surgeon at Rp 725.070.000 and Psychiatrist at Rp 670.220.000. The midpoint of the listed set is Marketing Manager at Rp 267.700.000 — a better “typical covered career here” than row #1 alone. Top-of-list mix: 5 healthcare, 3 technology, and 1 finance & business.
Population in the dataset is about 8,540,121. Larger labour markets usually support wider industry mix; smaller ones can look “high paying” on one clinical or tech title and thin everywhere else. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort.
Indonesia shows about 1.9% CPI in 2025. Open a role’s Jakarta salary page for p10–p90, take-home, and rent models — this hub is the directory. Missing careers may still have a national Indonesia page even when this metro lacks observed percentiles.
Reading pay and COL together in Jakarta
Use pay index (0.70) for wage level vs Indonesia, and COL (100) for prices. High on both is not the same as high real leftover.
Figures are observed metro medians where listed, in IDR, gross. They are market estimates — not a promise from any one employer.
What tops the Jakarta cash list
Radiologist: Radiologists interpret medical images to diagnose and guide treatment of disease. Observed median here: Rp 737.330.000. That lead reflects how this metro prices the occupation, not a recommendation to retrain tomorrow.
