HR · GCC Pay Index
Verified compensation across hr in the Gulf. Built from primary sources — offer letters, salary surveys, and live listings. Refreshed every month. Methodology.
Every source on this page is a primary document we hold on file: a written offer letter, an extract from an established Gulf compensation survey, or a verified live job listing. We don’t crowdsource and we don’t accept self-reported numbers.
GCC compensation conversations happen in monthly base. Bonuses, allowances, and equity are surfaced separately on role detail pages so you can see the package shape, not a single inflated headline number.
The Index refreshes monthly. Bands older than 12 months are flagged and excluded from percentile calculations. The current view was last refreshed on 1 January 2026. Read the full methodology →
