Average HVAC Supervisor Salary in Iraq for 2026

How much does an HVAC supervisor make in Iraq?

A typical HVAC supervisor working in Iraq brings home around 1,660,133 IQD a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 9,142,700 IQD, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 31,559,900 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 HVAC supervisor 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 HVAC supervisor 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 HVAC supervisors in Iraq earn less than 21,478,100 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 13,798,900 IQD (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 28,679,900 IQD (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of HVAC supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 9,142,700 IQD. The highest stretch to 31,559,900 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.

HVAC supervisor pay by experience in Iraq

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an HVAC supervisor 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 HVAC supervisor salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 47%. That is the point at which a HVAC 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.

HVAC supervisor pay by education in Iraq

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving HVAC supervisor 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.

HVAC supervisor gender pay gap in Iraq

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Iraq is no exception. Male HVAC supervisors in Iraq earn an average of 22,081,800 IQD a year, while female HVAC supervisors earn around 17,758,500 IQD. That works out to a 24% 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.

Pay raises for an HVAC supervisor in Iraq

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Iraq sees a raise of about 9% every 20 months, which works out to roughly 5% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in Iraq, the national average raise is around 7% every 20 months.
