Salary guide
What jobs actually pay in the Kurdistan Region
Pay is rarely discussed openly here, so most people apply with no idea what a role is worth. These figures come from the salary bands employers themselves publish on KDXJobs — nothing estimated, nothing borrowed from other markets.

How to read these numbers
- This is advertised pay, not paid pay. It reflects what employers put in the job post, which is not always what the successful candidate signs.
- The figure is a band, not an average. Job posts choose from a fixed list of IQD ranges, so the honest summary is the middle band, not a single number.
- Small groups are withheld. Anything under 5 priced job posts is not shown, because it would not survive one unusual employer.
- Undisclosed pay is excluded, not counted as low. Posts marked negotiable are reported separately as the disclosure rate.
