A typical television executive producer working in Uganda brings home around 4,920,058 UGX a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 27,118,300 UGX, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 93,838,400 UGX for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

How television executive producer pay ranges in Uganda

A good way to think about salary in Uganda is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all television executive producers in Uganda earn less than 63,719,600 UGX 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 40,921,600 UGX (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 85,081,800 UGX (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 27,118,300 UGX. The highest stretch to 93,838,400 UGX, 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 Uganda

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a television executive producer in Uganda, 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
    30,841,400 UGX
  • 2-5 Years
    +33% from previous
    41,158,900 UGX
  • 5-10 Years
    +48% from previous
    60,841,800 UGX
  • 10-15 Years
    +22% from previous
    74,161,900 UGX
  • 15-20 Years
    +9% from previous
    80,881,800 UGX
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    87,481,900 UGX

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 48%. 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 Uganda

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving television executive producer pay in Uganda. 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.

Television executive producer gender pay gap in Uganda

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Uganda is no exception. Male television executive producers in Uganda earn an average of 63,719,600 UGX a year, while female television executive producers earn around 54,358,300 UGX. That works out to a 17% 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.
