Average Quantitative Researcher Salary in Tunisia for 2026

How much does a quantitative researcher make in Tunisia?

A typical quantitative researcher working in Tunisia brings home around 5,493 TND a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 33,520 TND, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 105,080 TND 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 quantitative researcher 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 quantitative researcher pay ranges in Tunisia

A good way to think about salary in Tunisia is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all quantitative researchers in Tunisia earn less than 65,800 TND 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 46,720 TND (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 83,760 TND (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of quantitative researchers sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 33,520 TND. The highest stretch to 105,080 TND, 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.

Quantitative researcher pay by experience in Tunisia

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a quantitative researcher in Tunisia, 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 quantitative researcher salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 0 - 2 Years to 2 - 5 Years, where pay rises by about 39%. That is the point at which a quantitative researcher 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.

Quantitative researcher pay by education in Tunisia

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving quantitative researcher pay in Tunisia. 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.

Quantitative researcher gender pay gap in Tunisia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Tunisia is no exception. Male quantitative researchers in Tunisia earn an average of 72,700 TND a year, while female quantitative researchers earn around 64,040 TND. That works out to a 14% 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 quantitative researcher in Tunisia

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 Tunisia sees a raise of about 12% every 19 months, which works out to roughly 8% 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 Tunisia, the national average raise is around 8% every 19 months.
