What pushes a maid's salary up or down

Size of the house

A two-bedroom apartment and a ten-marla house with a lawn are different jobs. More rooms and bathrooms mean more hours, and a higher figure.

Tasks included

Sweeping and mopping only is the base. Adding laundry, ironing, dishes or helping in the kitchen adds to the monthly amount.

Hours and days

Three hours a morning, six days a week, is very different from a full day. Sunday work and evening duty usually cost extra.

Experience and references

A maid with years in one household and a reference you can call is worth more than someone new to the work.

How the area changes the cost

Costs beyond the salary

Eidi at Eid, which most families give on top of salary

Meals or tea during working hours
For live-in maids: a furnished room, bedding and toiletries
