Half of project managers in West Midlands earn between £41,048 and £72,225. Earning above £72,225 puts you in the top quarter of the profession.

ONS suppresses the detailed spread for this occupation at regional level, so this range describes the wider “Business and Financial Project Management Professionals” group in West Midlands.
