Average salary in Tanzania per month: TZS 609,354 in the official survey
The official average is TZS 609,354 a month in cash, before deductions, for employees in the formal sector: TZS 549,373 in the private sector and TZS 1,273,395 in the public sector. That is pay as at 30 June 2024, from the latest edition of the national survey we could find, and it only counts formal jobs, so it is not a salary you should expect.
