ILOSTAT publishes the median monthly pay of each group and a Gini index of how unevenly it is spread, not percentiles. The yearly median is the monthly figure times 12. The likely range (25th to 75th percentile) comes from a log-normal curve through the median and the Gini index. Figures are 2022 XAF, rounded to three significant figures. ILOSTAT has no usable pay-by-age table for this country, so the app uses the UK age curve shape.
