Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How accounting coordinator pay ranges in Mozambique

A good way to think about salary in Mozambique is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all accounting coordinators in Mozambique earn less than 275,500 MZN a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 192,600 MZN (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 345,100 MZN (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of accounting coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 151,800 MZN. The highest stretch to 440,200 MZN, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Accounting coordinator pay by experience in Mozambique

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an accounting coordinator in Mozambique, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical accounting coordinator salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    172,200 MZN
  • 2-5 Years
    +32% from previous
    228,000 MZN
  • 5-10 Years
    +31% from previous
    299,500 MZN
  • 10-15 Years

    +9% from previous
    394,800 MZN
  • 20+ Years
    +5% from previous
    413,900 MZN

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 0 - 2 Years to 2 - 5 Years, where pay rises by about 32%. That is the point at which a accounting coordinator typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Accounting coordinator pay by education in Mozambique

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving accounting coordinator pay in Mozambique. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

  • Certificate or Diploma

Accounting coordinator gender pay gap in Mozambique

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Mozambique is no exception. Male accounting coordinators in Mozambique earn an average of 307,400 MZN a year, while female accounting coordinators earn around 275,500 MZN. That works out to a 12% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.
