Note:

Base salary is primarily based on role, experience, and location, with adjustments for specialization, performance, and client book. Recruiters with existing clients or in high-demand sectors typically earn higher total compensation once commissions and bonuses are considered.

This calculator is currently optimized for the UK, USA, Dubai, Amsterdam, Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. It estimates base salaries only – commissions and bonuses are not included.

Please note: Salaries may vary depending on company size, budget, internal salary bands, team structure, culture fit, individual negotiation, and market timing. These estimates serve as a general guide and should not be treated as guaranteed offers.
