IT and AI salaries in Pakistan, from real adverts
These are entry-level figures, not averages for experienced staff, and each one shows its city, its source and the date we read it. Pay in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad is often higher than in smaller cities. No source states whether a figure is gross or net. Treat every number as a guide, not a promise.

How to read these figures
- They are entry-level offers from adverts and salary pages, not what experienced staff earn.
- Each figure is from the city named beside it. Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad usually list more jobs, and often pay more, than smaller cities.
- No source says whether a figure is before or after tax.
- Freelance rates are examples of featured profiles, not averages.
