What the chart shows
Every point represents a worker on Anisya, plotted by their years of domestic-work experience (horizontal) against the monthly salary they are asking for (vertical). The shaded cells show where workers cluster — the darker the cell, the more workers sit there. The dark line traces the median asking salary for each year of experience, and the dashed line is the overall trend.
The relationship is clear and consistent: a worker in their first years asks a median of about S$600 a month, rising to roughly S$750 a month for those with fifteen or more years behind them. Across the whole group the correlation is 0.47 — strong for real-world salary data — working out to about S$11 more per month for every extra year of experience.
A new helper and an experienced one are a different hire
New to Singapore
- - Lower cost, and eager to prove themselves
- - A blank slate you can train to your household's way of doing things
- - Best when you have the time and patience to settle someone in
Experienced in Singapore
- - Ready from day one — knows the routines and the expectations
- - A track record of tenure and references you can check
- - The higher salary reflects lower risk, not a higher price for the same thing
On Anisya, every worker's experience is drawn from their real employment history — much of it verified against official records — so what you see on a profile is what you are paying for.

About this data. Based on 10,509 Anisya domestic-worker profiles that list a monthly asking salary and have logged employment history, as of July 2026. Experience is each worker's total accumulated months of domestic work; asking salary is the figure stated on their profile. Figures are aggregated and anonymised, and describe asking salaries — not offers or agreed wages. Actual pay depends on skills, duties, references, and individual negotiation.
