Best Answer

A single person earns a salary. A group of people each have their own salary, but when you are referring to them as a group you might refer to their salaries. Thus, a finance report might have a column for "salaries" because it's referring to the salary of many people.

You use the singular form of "salary" when referring to one person's pay, such as "His salary is $50,000." You use the plural form of "salaries" when referring to the pay of multiple people, such as "The salaries of employees vary based on experience."
