The middle half of sales administrators earnings fall between £22,764 and £32,336 a year. That spread reflects the usual gap between newer entrants and more experienced sales administrators.
Employment patterns shape these numbers too: Only 66% work full-time, so part-time and flexible roles are common in this field.
