Salary ranges

We already know that an Intake Operator can earn between 4,499,000 IQD and 15,599,800 IQD on average in Iraq. This is known as the range in statistics.

The difference between the maximum and minimum values is a good indicator of variability in salaries, and can be used by employers to figure out how much they can expect to pay, and for employees to know how much they can earn.

Median salary

The median salary for an Intake Operator in Iraq is 10,572,800 IQD. This is the middle value in the distribution of salaries.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 10,572,800 IQD, and 50% of the population earn more than 10,572,800 IQD.

If you are earning more than the median salary, that's a good indicator that you are being paid well.

If you're not earning more than the median salary, your objective should be to increase your earnings to be at least as high as the median salary (which you can do by asking for a pay rise, looking for a better paying job, etc).
