These are statutory minimums for the listed categories, not average salaries or take-home pay. They are not a Zanzibar or public-service pay table. Higher contractual wages can apply.
| Category | TZS / month | |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial banks | 733,000 | 8 |
| Community services banks | 698,400 | 8 |
Choose the right category
The schedule separates commercial banks from community services banks. It does not publish graduate-trainee, teller or branch-manager salary bands. A contractor working at a bank is not necessarily employed by that bank.
Questions to settle before accepting
Ask whether the offer is permanent, fixed-term, trainee or outsourced. Separate guaranteed pay from performance bonuses, staff-loan benefits and sales targets.
Make a fair comparison
Compare the contract employer and fixed annual cash before valuing benefits. A favourable loan is useful only if you need it and understand its terms after leaving the job.
