Gross fixed salary per year for an Office Manager with 3-7 years of experience at a German SMB (20-100 employees). Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg pull the range up by 10-15 %; rural regions and the East pull it down by 5-10 %. Profiles that carry an extended HR scope (onboarding, payroll preparation, simple employment-law topics) or an extended office scope (multi-site, intensive event organization) sit at the top of the range. The role has no structural variable component; some SMBs pay a 13th-month salary or a simple profit share.
