A procurement officer in Pakistan earns about 390,000 PKR a year. That's 60% below the national average of 983,100 PKR.

Pay ranges widely from country to country and from role to role. The lowest reported salaries in Pakistan sit around 196,800 PKR a year, while the very top stretches to 606,400 PKR. Everything on this page is in Pakistani rupee (PKR, symbol ₨), 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 Pakistan, 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.

A typical procurement officer working in Pakistan brings home around 32,500 PKR a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 196,800 PKR, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 606,400 PKR 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 procurement officer 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 procurement officer 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 procurement officers in Pakistan earn less than 390,000 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 263,900 PKR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 498,000 PKR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of procurement officers sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 196,800 PKR. The highest stretch to 606,400 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.

Procurement officer pay by experience in Pakistan

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a procurement officer 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 procurement officer salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    233,900 PKR
  • 2-5 Years
    +34% from previous
    312,400 PKR
  • 5-10 Years
    +33% from previous
    415,900 PKR
  • 10-15 Years
    +19% from previous
    496,100 PKR
  • 15-20 Years
    +8% from previous
    535,800 PKR
  • 20+ Years
    +7% from previous
    573,500 PKR

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 0 - 2 Years to 2 - 5 Years, where pay rises by about 34%. That is the point at which a procurement officer 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.


Procurement officer pay by education in Pakistan

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving procurement officer 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 procurement officer salary in Pakistan broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

  • High School

  • Certificate or Diploma
    +39% from previous

Procurement officer gender pay gap in Pakistan

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Pakistan is no exception. Male procurement officers in Pakistan earn an average of 403,100 PKR a year, while female procurement officers earn around 376,800 PKR. That works out to a 7% 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 a procurement officer in Pakistan

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 Pakistan 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 Pakistan, the national average raise is around 8% every 19 months.

Procurement officer bonus rates in Pakistan

Bonuses are the other half of total compensation, and they vary a lot between jobs and industries. Some roles are paid almost entirely in base salary; others lean heavily on bonus structures tied to revenue, project completion or company performance. Whether a job pays a bonus, how big it is, and how often it lands all factor into whether the headline salary is actually a good offer.
