Compare Your Annual Income 2013
Compare your income at:
Compare Your Annual Income 2013 | Salary.sg - Your Salary in Singapore
A $100k per-annum income will now place you at the 78.2th percentile, compared to 79.3th in the previous year.
Last year’s median income was $52,300. This year, it is $53,000.
If you make more than $91,500, you are in the top quartile (i.e. top 25%) of all resident taxpayers.
To be among the top 10% earners, you need an annual income of $171,000 or more.
To be at the 95th percentile (i.e. top 5%), you need to make at least $265,000 a year.

Based on Singapore statistic, there was a total of
3.357 million people employed last year.

Food for thoughts.
Does that mean the 2 million people should not be complaining or voting since they are actually not paying for public infrastructures and probably receiving social assistance?

Nope. One reason is retirees whom paid their bills but not having income should have a chance to vote.
While i think the numbers show there are a lot of low wages workers and Singapore is heavily dependent on them, my sense is that the numbers are also distorted because if you consider SME where family members are employed by the company and charge everything to a company and "draw" a low salary...I wont be too surprised if this group has consist of 200- 500k people.
