Plumber pay in Singapore: Singapore leads, Singapore trails

The Singapore national median for a plumber is $140,000 a year. Among 1 metros with observed data, pay runs from about $97,900 in Singapore to $97,900 in Singapore (1×).

Plumbers install and repair piping, fixtures, and water systems. Common screening skills include Piping, Fixtures, Code, and Troubleshooting.

A modeled national band runs about $95,900–$193,900 around that midpoint. Employment Pass criteria and COMPASS scoring are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +6% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Singaporean city.

When metro percentiles appear, prefer those over this national midpoint for a named city. Until then, treat $140,000 as a country-level sketch and pressure-test any offer with tax and cost-of-living tools.

Singapore shows about 0.9% CPI in 2025. A plumber raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby skilled trades titles on this site include Electrician, Carpenter, Chef, and Welder.
