We frequently get asked about sales salary expectations in the eye care team at FMC Meditech.

We thought we’d give an overview of the average basic salaries and bonuses you can expect to earn in the eye care market across different sales roles. Over the past year we’ve mapped the market, and this is just some of the information we’ve collated.

Average salaries and bonuses

• Associate Account Manager (less than 2 years’ experience) – £35k salary + £16k bonus

What causes the range of salaries and bonuses?

Both basic salaries and bonuses are affected by a variety of factors, including:

• Territory – job roles come with a variety of territory locations and sizes and, generally speaking, larger territories can mean a larger basic salary
• Product – the higher the price of the equipment a salesperson is selling, the more bonus they can expect to receive.
• Environment – is the product being sold to a clinical market, a private market, or to the NHS? The different sales environments can lead to different basic salaries and bonuses
