| Pay period | Median | Entry level | Top 10% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per month | ₹16,000 | ₹12,000 | ₹30,000 |

Treat the hourly and daily figures as a comparison tool, not as a rate anyone is offering: almost every role on this page is paid a fixed monthly salary regardless of the hours actually worked, and overtime, incentives and allowances sit outside the number entirely. The yearly figure is twelve times the monthly one — it does not include a bonus or a thirteenth month unless the employer says so in the listing.

What changes the pay
Experience is the largest single factor in this data. The gap between the bottom quarter of listings and the top quarter is ₹10,000 a month, and most of it tracks the years of experience the employer asks for.
Location matters more than most candidates expect — the same role can differ by several thousand rupees a month between two cities, which is why the city breakdown below is worth reading before you accept or negotiate.
Shift and contract type change the figure too. Night shifts, roles requiring your own vehicle, and positions with a travel component typically sit above the median; part-time and temporary contracts sit below it.
What is not in these numbers: incentives, overtime, allowances and undisclosed salaries. Roughly speaking, only listings where an employer published a fixed monthly figure are counted — everything else is left out rather than guessed at.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average salary for engineer jobs in Kolkata?
The median is ₹16,000 per month — half of the published salaries are above it and half below. The middle 50% of listings fall between ₹15,000 and ₹25,000. These are medians rather than averages on purpose: a handful of unusually high postings would drag an average somewhere no real job pays. Figures come from 151 live listings in Kolkata where the employer published a salary.
What is a good starting salary for a engineer job in Kolkata?
Entry-level roles cluster near the bottom of the range — around ₹12,000 to ₹15,000 per month. If you are being offered below ₹12,000, that is under what 90% of employers currently advertise for this kind of work in Kolkata, and worth questioning.
What is the highest salary for engineer jobs in Kolkata?
The top 10% of published salaries start at ₹30,000 per month. Roles at that level usually ask for several years of experience, supervisory responsibility, or a specific skill or certification the employer names in the listing.
What is the yearly salary for engineer jobs in Kolkata?
About ₹1,92,000 a year at the median, which is simply the ₹16,000 monthly figure multiplied by twelve. Indian employers advertise these roles monthly, so the annual number is a conversion rather than something anyone published — and it does not assume a bonus or a thirteenth month. Entry-level works out around ₹1,44,000 and the top 10% start near ₹3,60,000.
How much do engineer jobs in Kolkata pay per hour or per day?
Roughly ₹77 an hour, or ₹615 a day, at the median — derived from the monthly salary at 26 working days a month and 8 hours a day. Almost none of these roles are actually paid by the hour: the employer offers a fixed monthly salary, so treat this as a way to compare against hourly work rather than a rate on offer. Overtime and incentives are not included.
Where do these salary figures come from?
Only from live job listings on MyWork where the employer chose to publish a salary — 151 of them for this page. Listings with an undisclosed salary are excluded rather than estimated, and figures are recalculated daily as postings come and go. Nothing here is a survey, a projection or a self-reported figure.
Do engineer salaries include incentives?
Usually not. Most Indian employers publish a fixed monthly figure and describe incentives, travel allowance or overtime separately in the job description. Read the individual listing before comparing two offers — a lower fixed salary with incentives can pay more than a higher one without.
