A typical forestry supervisor working in Pakistan brings home around 58,691 PKR a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 381,800 PKR, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 1,062,500 PKR for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

How forestry supervisor 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 forestry supervisors in Pakistan earn less than 648,200 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 462,300 PKR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 785,400 PKR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of forestry supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 381,800 PKR. The highest stretch to 1,062,500 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.

Forestry supervisor pay by experience in Pakistan

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a forestry supervisor in Pakistan, 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 forestry supervisor salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    440,200 PKR
  • 2-5 Years
    +27% from previous
    559,000 PKR
  • 5-10 Years

    735,500 PKR
  • 10-15 Years

    +11% from previous
    957,800 PKR
  • 20+ Years
    +6% from previous
    1,016,300 PKR

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 32%. That is the point at which a forestry supervisor 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.


Forestry supervisor pay by education in Pakistan

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving forestry supervisor pay in Pakistan. 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.

Below is the average forestry supervisor salary in Pakistan broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Forestry supervisor gender pay gap in Pakistan

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Pakistan is no exception. Male forestry supervisors in Pakistan earn an average of 731,700 PKR a year, while female forestry supervisors earn around 663,200 PKR. That works out to a 10% 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.
