Pay ranges widely from country to country and from role to role. The lowest reported salaries in Iraq sit around 11,638,300 IQD a year, while the very top stretches to 35,159,900 IQD. Everything on this page is in Iraqi dinar (IQD, symbol ع.د), which lets you compare numbers like-for-like without worrying about exchange rates.
The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay. Most reported salaries include the benefits that are common in Iraq, such as housing or transport allowances, which is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing against a country where those are usually paid on top.
How much does an export sales coordinator make in Iraq?
A typical export sales coordinator working in Iraq brings home around 1,899,916 IQD a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 11,638,300 IQD, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 35,159,900 IQD for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.
The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior export sales coordinator working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.
How export sales coordinator pay ranges in Iraq
A good way to think about salary in Iraq is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all export sales coordinators in Iraq earn less than 22,321,900 IQD 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 15,360,400 IQD (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 28,200,200 IQD (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of export sales coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.
The very lowest reported salaries sit around 11,638,300 IQD. The highest stretch to 35,159,900 IQD, 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.
Export sales coordinator pay by experience in Iraq
Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an export sales coordinator in Iraq, 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 export sales coordinator salary changes as you move through the career ladder.
- 0-2 Years13,079,500 IQD
- 2-5 Years+30% from previous17,039,100 IQD
- 5-10 Years+40% from previous23,878,400 IQD
- 10-15 Years+20% from previous28,679,900 IQD
- 15-20 Years+9% from previous31,201,500 IQD
- 20+ Years+8% from previous33,599,200 IQD
The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 40%. That is the point at which a export sales 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.
Export sales coordinator pay by education in Iraq
Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving export sales coordinator pay in Iraq. 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.

Export sales coordinator gender pay gap in Iraq
The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Iraq is no exception. Male export sales coordinators in Iraq earn an average of 25,079,200 IQD a year, while female export sales coordinators earn around 20,760,500 IQD. That works out to a 21% 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.
