Frequently asked

What is the G-1 salary at the UN in Caracas?

How is take-home pay calculated for a G-1 in Caracas?

Take-home starts from the G-1 net salary, minus a 7.9% UNJSPF pension contribution and staff medical insurance, plus danger pay where the duty station is designated. Post adjustment and hardship allowances do not apply to locally recruited GS/NO staff.

These are UN common-system pay figures. The World Bank, IMF and NGOs and other non-UN employers posting here set their own pay — a role here does not guarantee these figures.
