A typical television executive producer working in Afghanistan brings home around 149,025 AFN a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 819,000 AFN, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 2,831,100 AFN for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How television executive producer pay ranges in Afghanistan

A good way to think about salary in Afghanistan is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all television executive producers in Afghanistan earn less than 1,930,500 AFN 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 1,235,600 AFN (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 2,566,100 AFN (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of television executive producers sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 819,000 AFN. The highest stretch to 2,831,100 AFN, 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.

Television executive producer pay by experience in Afghanistan

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a television executive producer in Afghanistan, 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 television executive producer salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    931,700 AFN
  • 2-5 Years
    +34% from previous
    1,249,900 AFN
  • 5-10 Years
    +47% from previous
    1,835,700 AFN
  • 10-15 Years
    +22% from previous
    2,242,500 AFN

    +9% from previous
    2,447,200 AFN
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    2,641,300 AFN

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 television executive producer 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.


Television executive producer pay by education in Afghanistan

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving television executive producer pay in Afghanistan. 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 television executive producer salary in Afghanistan broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Television executive producer gender pay gap in Afghanistan

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Afghanistan is no exception. Male television executive producers in Afghanistan earn an average of 1,980,600 AFN a year, while female television executive producers earn around 1,583,700 AFN. That works out to a 25% 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.
