How catering sales pay ranges in Pakistan

A good way to think about salary in Pakistan is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all catering saleses in Pakistan earn less than 578,500 PKR 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 401,300 PKR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 721,600 PKR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of catering saleses sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 314,500 PKR. The highest stretch to 922,300 PKR, 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.

Catering sales gender pay gap in Pakistan

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Pakistan is no exception. Male catering saleses in Pakistan earn an average of 649,700 PKR a year, while female catering saleses earn around 573,500 PKR. That works out to a 13% 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.
