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.
Helpers in their first years ask a median of S$600 a month; those with fifteen or more years ask about S$650. That is a difference of about 8%, or roughly S$2 a month for each extra year. Years of experience on their own say little about what a helper will ask: two helpers with the same years often ask quite different amounts. Experienced helpers ask only a little more than new ones. What sets them apart is not the price but the track record: years in Singapore homes, long stays with one family, and a work history you can check.
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
- - Usually asks a little more, for a hire with less risk and less training
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 Anisya domestic-worker profiles that list a monthly asking salary and have logged employment history. Updated weekly. Experience is each worker's total months of domestic work, with overlapping jobs counted once; 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.
