June 2026 projection Estimate
| Occupation | June 2025 (MOM) | June 2026 projection | 80% range | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supply and distribution/Logistics/Warehousing manager | 8,500 | Not projected: too volatile | ||
| Procurement/Purchasing manager | 8,644 | 8,980 | 7,860 to 10,270 | |
| Logistics/Production planner | 4,443 | Not projected: too volatile | ||
| Purchasing agent | 4,077 | 4,400 | 3,790 to 5,110 | |
Foundific projection v1, not official data. Central estimate = average of the last two MOM medians + economy-wide wage growth (3.73% a year, from MOM median income and the MAS inflation forecast). Tested on 2025: typical error 8.1%; 78.7% of actual values fell inside the 80% range. How the projection works.
What it means
- Supply chain managers: S$6,915 in 2020 and S$8,500 in 2025, with a dip to S$6,650 in 2024, so not projected.
- Purchasing agents: projected S$4,400.
- Estimate: projections are ours, not MOM data. MOM's June 2026 figures are due around mid-2027 and will replace them.
