2024–2025 GCC market

What the data is

Addify publishes salary benchmarks for professional roles across the Gulf Cooperation Council and Egypt. Each figure is derived from 3 published annual GCC salary reports — Bayt Salary Report 2024, Robert Half GCC Salary Guide, and Cooper Fitch GCC Salary Survey — cross-referenced and presented as a median with a percentile range per role, city, and experience band.

What the data is not

• Not real-time. Figures reflect published annual reports, not live market movements.
• Not scraped from job postings. Advertised salary ranges are different from actual paid salaries.
• Not based on user submissions yet. We plan to add that layer; it is not live today.
• Not a guarantee. Actual pay depends on employer, negotiation, skills, and total package structure.

Confidence

All published ranges are currently derived from all three source reports, which puts them in the High confidence tier — meaning the sources broadly agree and the range reflects real market consensus. Where reports vary meaningfully, the published range is wider rather than artificially narrowed.

See the methodology page for the full confidence model.

Freshness and update schedule

Current data reflects the 2024–2025 GCC market (last updated 2025-01-01). We review and update source data annually when new editions of our reference reports are published. The date on each salary page shows when that page’s underlying data was last refreshed.
