Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average operations manager salary in 2026?

The mid-career operations manager New York baseline is $82,000. Each city shows two numbers: local-market pay (verified national stats, OECD estimate, or COLI fallback) and a lifestyle equivalent (NYC baseline scaled by city COLI). The equivalent is not what someone earns locally.

Which city pays operations managers the most?

The highest COLI-scaled lifestyle equivalent for a operations manager is Zurich at $100,368 USD. That figure is purchasing-power scaled from the New York baseline, not local market pay. See both columns in the table for all 113 cities.

How is the salary adjusted for each city?

Local-market pay uses the same country multipliers as /is-my-salary-good/ (verified national statistics, OECD wage ratios, or COLI fallback). Lifestyle equivalent starts from the New York baseline and scales by city COLI (NYC = 100). Take-home percentage is tax and social contributions on the local-market figure.
