Product Designer salary in Costa Rica
There is no honest single number for this market. Below, each benchmark stays attached to the market it actually measures so a local salary is not quietly averaged with equity-heavy total compensation or a remote US-company budget.

Official Costa Rica benchmark
Digital Product Designer does not map cleanly to one COCR-2011 code from title alone. COCR 2163 covers industrial/product and garment design while 2166 covers graphic and multimedia design. PivotHop should validate actual task mappings before publishing an INEC Product Designer median. That is why this page does not display a made-up “official” local median.

Why the numbers disagree
Total compensation can include equity and bonus. Remote foreign-employer benchmarks describe companies hiring across borders, often in USD. Contractor data prices a commercial contract rather than payroll employment. The INEC layer measures Costa Rica's local salaried workforce. The disagreement is information about the market, not noise to average away.
