Logistics Coordinator Salary in the UAE (2026): Registered Pay, Industries & the Senior Step

A logistics coordinator in the UAE earns between AED 2,500 and AED 7,500 per month (AED 30,000–90,000 per year), tax-free, according to GulfTalent’s UAE salary page for the title — average AED 4,000 a month from 289 registered salaries across 280 companies and 13 industries, opened live for this guide. The second registered source stands close by: Naukrigulf carries no national page for this title, but its city page for the capital states a UAE commonly reported figure of AED 4,856 a month. Two warnings belong with the headline from the start. The first is that one major source had to be excluded entirely: Indeed’s page for this exact title averages AED 48,219 a month — roughly twelve times the registered average — a figure irreconcilable with every other source and excluded from this guide in full, with the reason printed. The second is that the step out of this title is priced more clearly than the title itself: the same page that prices the coordinator range ends it exactly where the supervisor ladder begins.

What this guide does with the evidence: the headline and the ladder come from the live registered page; the bands are built across both registered sources and labelled built, because the live page’s experience table did not render figures; the only published experience cuts — from the page’s own city pages — are printed as published with their small samples; and the disagreements inside a single publisher (two different UAE highs, two different manager figures, a senior wording priced under the senior floor) are printed rather than resolved. No figure from a blog table, an aggregator estimate or a social-media recruiter post is used anywhere.

What does a logistics coordinator earn in the UAE per month in 2026?

The short answer: AED 2,500–7,500 per month, average AED 4,000, on GulfTalent’s UAE page — 289 registered salaries, page updated 1 October 2026 — with Naukrigulf’s UAE commonly reported figure of AED 4,856 standing inside the same range as the cross-check. The page names Automotive as the title’s highest-paying industry, followed by Construction and Retail.

The summary table is built from the published figures named in each row’s basis, so every edge can be checked. The three bands are labelled built because the headline page publishes no experience cuts in its rendered text; the experience question below names the input behind every edge and prints the city-page cuts that do exist.

Level	Monthly salary (AED)	Yearly salary (AED)	Basis
Full registered range (GulfTalent, exact title)	2,500–7,500	30,000–90,000	GulfTalent UAE Logistics Coordinator page, opened live: lowest to highest of 289 registered salaries; average 4,000; 280 companies, 13 industries
Entry level (0–2 yrs) — built	2,500–3,500	30,000–42,000	GulfTalent’s registered low to its largest city page’s average (3,500, n=141); Naukrigulf’s city range starts lower, at 2,000, printed in the text
Experienced (3–5 yrs) — built	3,500–4,856	42,000–58,272	City average to Naukrigulf’s UAE commonly reported figure (4,856); GulfTalent’s national average (4,000) and its published city cuts (4,000 at 1–5 yrs; 4,500 at 6–10 yrs) sit inside this band
Senior (6+ yrs) — built	4,856–7,500	58,272–90,000	Naukrigulf’s figure to GulfTalent’s registered high; a single stated posting at 6,000–7,000 (8–15 years, free-zone knowledge) sits inside this band
The ladder above (same page’s comparisons)	7,500 / 10,000	90,000 / 120,000	GulfTalent’s comparison lines on the same page: Logistics Supervisor 7,500; Logistics Manager 10,000 (its city page’s FAQ says 9,500 — printed in the text)

Two cautions belong with the table. First, the excluded source: a reader searching this title will meet a page averaging AED 48,219 a month for it. Against registered averages of AED 4,000 (n=289) and AED 4,856, and a registered high of AED 7,500, that page’s low (AED 29,376) is nearly four times the highest registered salary — the pattern of annual figures carried as monthly. It is excluded here in full, and the exclusion is stated openly so the gap between this guide and that page is explained rather than hidden. Second, the senior wording: GulfTalent’s Senior Logistics Coordinator page averages AED 4,500 on a thin sample of seven — below this table’s senior floor. Seniority in this title is worth less than the ladder step above it, and the sections below show both.

A note on the second source’s shape: Naukrigulf publishes no national range for this title at all. The range on the city page that carries its national figure runs AED 2,000–10,000 — the widest span retrieved for this title, drawn from that city’s own 207 reports — while the national figure itself (AED 4,856) is a commonly reported statistic, not the midpoint of any published range. This guide therefore takes its edges from the live national page and its centre cross-check from Naukrigulf, and never presents the city range as a national one.

How does a logistics coordinator’s pay change with experience in the UAE?

The headline page’s experience table did not render figures when opened, so the bands below are built from published averages and range edges, and every paragraph names its inputs. The only published experience cuts for this title anywhere in the retrieved sources sit on GulfTalent’s own city pages for it, and they are printed as published, with their samples, inside the experienced band.

Entry (0–2 years) — AED 2,500–3,500 a month, built. The floor is GulfTalent’s registered low (AED 2,500) on the 289-salary national sample — a range floor, not a published entry-only figure, and the article says so. The band’s top is the average of the publisher’s largest city page (AED 3,500, n=141): in a high-volume coordination title, the biggest city’s average is an early-career figure, because most registered coordinators are in their first roles. Below the floor, Naukrigulf’s city range for the title starts at AED 2,000 — printed, not used, because the headline follows the live national page.

Experienced (3–5 years) — AED 3,500–4,856 a month, built. The floor is the city average above. Inside the band sit the national registered average (AED 4,000) and the only published cuts retrieved for this title: on one city page, AED 4,000 for 1–5 years rising to AED 4,500 for 6–10 years (n=19); on another, AED 3,000 for 1–5 years rising to AED 5,500 for 6–10 years (n=13) — the second page’s senior cut rises above this band’s top and is printed as published, on its small sample. The band’s top is Naukrigulf’s UAE commonly reported figure (AED 4,856, carried on a city page whose own sample is n=207). The shape across every cut and average is the same: experience moves this salary in AED 500 steps.

Senior (6+ years) — AED 4,856–7,500 a month, built. The floor is Naukrigulf’s national figure. Inside the band: a neighbouring wording’s comparison line on the live page, Logistics Officer at AED 5,000 — above the coordinator average, printed as published — and the one stated posting retrieved for this title, a coordinator role at AED 6,000–7,000 a month asking 8–15 years of experience with free-zone (JAFZA/KIZAD) knowledge, employer unnamed in the retrieved text. The top is the registered high (AED 7,500). Against the band stands the senior wording itself: Senior Logistics Coordinator averages AED 4,500 (range AED 2,000–7,000) on a thin city sample of seven — an older crawl of the same page read AED 5,000 — so the word “senior” on the contract is worth, on the retrieved evidence, about AED 500 over the general average, while the supervisor title above the range is worth AED 3,500. The promotion, not the adjective, is the pay rise.

Two further disagreements sit inside the retrieved pages and are printed here rather than in a footnote, because both affect how the bands should be read. First, the publisher’s own pages disagree about the title’s ceiling: the live national page states a highest registered salary of AED 7,500, while the same publisher’s largest city page answers its own frequently asked question with a UAE range of “AED 2,500 to AED 5,500” — a ceiling AED 2,000 lower, on the page whose average (AED 3,500) this guide uses as a band edge. The national page was opened live and governs; the FAQ line is older text the publisher has not aligned, and a reader who finds it should know the national page’s figure is the current one. Second, the two sources disagree about the capital’s market by AED 1,450: Naukrigulf’s city page for Abu Dhabi averages AED 5,450 (n=207, range AED 2,000–10,000) against GulfTalent’s city page average of AED 4,000 (n=19) for the same city and title. The larger sample belongs to the higher figure, and the national commonly reported figure Naukrigulf carries (AED 4,856) sits between the two — one more reason the bands are built across both sources instead of taking either publisher’s geography as exact.

How much does a senior logistics coordinator earn in the UAE?

Less than the title promises — and the retrieved evidence is specific enough to say by how much. GulfTalent’s city page for the Senior Logistics Coordinator wording averages AED 4,500 per month (low AED 2,000, high AED 7,000), on a thin sample of seven registered salaries, page updated October 2026. That is AED 500 above the general title’s national average (AED 4,000, n=289) and AED 356 below the second source’s national figure for the general title (Naukrigulf’s AED 4,856). An older crawl of the same senior page (February 2026) read an average of AED 5,000 with a high of AED 6,000 — the senior average has moved down between crawls while its high rose, the signature of a very small sample being refreshed; both versions are printed, the newer governs, and neither should carry a negotiation on its own.

Read the senior wording against the ladder and the picture sharpens. The senior page’s high (AED 7,000) stops short of the general title’s registered high (AED 7,500); its range starts at the same AED 2,000–2,500 floor as every other page for this title; and the step that actually reprices the work — Logistics Supervisor, at the AED 7,500 comparison figure — is a different title, not an adjective. Employers use “senior” in this field to signal shift responsibility, a larger portfolio of accounts, or free-zone documentation depth (the stated AED 6,000–7,000 posting asking 8–15 years and JAFZA/KIZAD knowledge is a senior job in everything but its wording). The pay follows the responsibility and the specialism, not the word. A coordinator offered a senior title at AED 4,500 is being offered the measured senior average; a coordinator offered the supervisor title is being offered the top of this guide’s range as a starting point. The two offers differ by AED 3,000 a month, and the difference is the title’s job content, not its seniority label.

Which industries pay logistics coordinators most in the UAE?

The live page answers the ranking directly and this guide uses exactly what it states: across 13 industries and 280 companies, Automotive is the highest-paying industry for this title, followed by Construction and Retail. The page’s industry table did not render figures in the text open, so no industry-level salary is printed here — the ranking is the page’s own, and inventing figures to fill it would break the rule every other section follows. What can be added from the retrieved postings, labelled as a pattern: the stated posting at the top of the range (AED 6,000–7,000) prices free-zone trading experience — deep familiarity with the JAFZA/KIZAD system and 8–15 years in the work — while recruiter advertisements at the volume end (excluded as figures; recorded in the data pack) offer AED 3,000–4,500 for general coordinator roles. Between them sits the registered centre of AED 4,000–4,856: trading, distribution and retail operations hiring coordinators as the connective tissue between warehouse, freight and customers.

The ladder around the title, from the same live page’s comparison lines, is the other half of the industry answer, because industry and seniority compound: Logistics Officer AED 5,000 · Logistics Supervisor AED 7,500 · Logistics Manager AED 10,000 — with the publisher’s own city page FAQ pricing the manager step at AED 9,500, a AED 500 disagreement inside one publisher that this guide prints rather than resolves. A coordinator in a lower-paying industry who makes the supervisor step gains more than a coordinator who changes industry and stays a coordinator: the supervisor floor (7,500) is the coordinator ceiling, in every industry the page ranks.

One recruiter listing retrieved for this guide deserves a sentence of its own, because it shows the discipline this guide applies to postings: a logistics employer in the northern emirates advertised a coordinator role at AED 4,000–6,000 a month through a recruiter page that labels its own figure “(Estimated)”. A range that sits squarely on the registered centre is still not a stated salary — the employer never published it — so it is excluded from every band and recorded here only as consistency evidence: even the estimates cluster where the registered sources cluster. The same test excluded an aggregator’s employer listing pricing a retail group’s coordinator role at AED 8,000–12,000 under the label “Market estimated”: the label is the publisher’s own confession that the employer stated no such figure. Readers comparing offers will meet both kinds of listing; the ones worth negotiating against are the ones where the number is stated without a label excusing it.

The sample’s breadth is worth one more look, because it explains the centre’s stability. The 289 registered salaries behind the headline come from 280 companies — nearly one salary per company — across 13 industries. This is not a market priced by a handful of large employers; it is a market of small and mid-sized trading, distribution and services firms each employing a coordinator or two, which is why the average barely moves between sources (AED 4,000 registered; AED 4,856 jobseeker-reported) and why the publisher’s city pages for the title cluster tightly: Dubai AED 3,500 (n=141), Abu Dhabi AED 4,000 (n=19), Sharjah AED 4,000 (n=13) and Ajman AED 4,500 (n=7, a December 2025 stamp). A breadth sample like this produces a reliable centre and an unreliable edge — the AED 7,500 high is one salary in 289 — and offers should be judged against the centre first.

What is added on top of a logistics coordinator’s basic salary in the UAE?

Less is stated for this title than for most in this batch, and the guide says so rather than filling the gap. The one stated posting retrieved (AED 6,000–7,000 a month) quotes a flat monthly range with no allowance split in its text. No salary page retrieved states a cash value for housing, transport, medical cover or any other benefit for this title, and none is invented here. Coordinator roles in the retrieved recruiter text are advertised as a monthly package — which makes the split between basic salary and allowances a question to settle in the contract, because of the gratuity below.

The legal framework underneath every offer:

• No personal income tax. Salaries in the UAE are tax-free, as the GulfTalent page opened for this guide states — the monthly figures here are take-home before your own expenses.
• No legal minimum wage for private-sector workers. Pay is set by contract and market. The market floor in the retrieved pages is AED 2,500 (the registered low on the headline page); the second source’s city range starts at AED 2,000.
• End-of-service gratuity (Federal Decree-Law 33/2021). After one year of service, gratuity accrues at 21 days’ basic pay for each of the first five years and 30 days’ basic pay for each year after that — calculated on basic pay only and capped at two years’ pay. On a AED 4,000 package, the basic share is worth thousands across a five-year stay: two offers with the same package total and different basics are not the same offer. Ask for the basic figure by name before signing.
• Shift and overtime terms vary by operation. Warehouse and free-zone operations run shift patterns that office-based coordination roles do not; no source retrieved prices overtime or shift allowances for this title, so none is quoted — it belongs in the offer letter, checked before the salary is judged.

The way SalarySouq turns a stated monthly figure into yearly pay, gratuity and take-home estimates is set out on the How We Calculate Salaries page.

Who hires logistics coordinators in the UAE?

This guide names no employer salary for this title, and says why plainly: none was retrieved. GulfTalent’s live page reports 280 companies behind its 289 registered salaries without publishing per-employer figures in its text, and the one source that does publish employer tables for this title does so in the excluded material (an aggregator’s “market estimated” range wearing a major retail group’s name — excluded in the data pack, because an estimate labelled as an estimate by its own publisher is not an employer’s stated salary). Rather than borrow those tables, this section names the hiring pattern the retrieved evidence supports: automotive, construction and retail operations (the live page’s own industry ranking), free-zone trading and distribution companies (the stated posting’s requirements), freight and warehouse operators, and the third-party logistics providers who coordinate between them. A coordinator pricing an offer from a named employer should ask which side of the registered range that employer’s coordinators sit on — the sources give the range honestly and the employer split not at all.

How do you move from a first logistics coordinator job to senior pay in the UAE?

• Take the supervisor step — it is the whole pay rise. The registered coordinator range ends at AED 7,500, which is exactly the supervisor comparison figure on the same page, and the manager step above it reads AED 10,000. In this title, promotion is worth more than a decade of increments: the published city cuts move AED 500 per experience step.
• Build the priced specialism: free-zone fluency. The one stated posting at the top of the range (AED 6,000–7,000) asks for 8–15 years plus JAFZA/KIZAD knowledge. Free-zone documentation, customs and port-system experience is the specialism employers state a premium for; general coordination experience alone prices at the average.
• Choose the industry deliberately. The live page ranks Automotive highest for this title, then Construction and Retail. The same coordinator job in a higher-ranked industry starts closer to the experienced band than to the entry floor.
• Do not pay for the word “senior”. The senior wording averages AED 4,500 on its thin retrieved sample (n=7) — AED 500 above the general average. A senior title without the supervisor ladder’s responsibilities is a label, not a raise; judge the offer against the bands, not the adjective.
• Fix the basic share in writing. Gratuity accrues on basic only, and coordinator packages are advertised as flat monthly totals. The calculation method page shows how SalarySouq models the difference across a contract.
• Use the registered figures, not the loud page. The excluded postings page averaging AED 48,219 a month for this title would misprice every negotiation it touched. The full set of 119 profession guides is indexed on the Professions page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average logistics coordinator salary in the UAE?

AED 4,000 per month on GulfTalent’s UAE page (289 registered salaries across 280 companies, page updated 1 October 2026), with Naukrigulf’s UAE commonly reported figure at AED 4,856 as the cross-check. The registered range runs from AED 2,500 to AED 7,500 a month. One widely seen page averages this title at AED 48,219 a month; it is irreconcilable with both registered sources and is excluded from this guide, with the reason stated in the guide.

How much does a senior logistics coordinator earn in the UAE?

On GulfTalent’s city page for the wording: an average of AED 4,500 per month (range AED 2,000–7,000), on a thin sample of seven registered salaries — only AED 500 above the general title’s national average. An older crawl of the same page read AED 5,000. The meaningful senior money in this field sits one rung up: Logistics Supervisor at AED 7,500 and Logistics Manager at AED 10,000 on the same publisher’s comparison lines.

Which industry pays logistics coordinators the most in the UAE?

Automotive, according to GulfTalent’s UAE page for the title — followed by Construction and Retail, across the 13 industries and 280 companies behind its sample. The page’s industry table did not render figures, so this guide prints the ranking as the page states it and attaches no invented figure to any industry.

Do logistics coordinators pay income tax in the UAE?

No. There is no personal income tax in the UAE, so the figures in this guide are gross and take-home at the same time, before your own living costs. There is also no legal minimum wage for private-sector workers; pay is set by contract and market, and the registered floor in the retrieved pages is AED 2,500 a month.

Why does another site show a logistics coordinator salary of AED 48,219 in the UAE?

Because that page — Indeed’s, built from job postings — carries figures roughly twelve times the registered sources for this title: its stated low (AED 29,376) is nearly four times the highest registered salary (AED 7,500), a pattern consistent with annual figures carried as monthly. No registered page, posting or city cut retrieved for this guide comes near it. This guide follows the two registered sources (GulfTalent, opened live, n=289; Naukrigulf, n=207) and excludes the page in full, openly, rather than averaging it in.

Sources & methodology: Figures retrieved 11 November 2026 from GulfTalent’s UAE Logistics Coordinator salary page (opened live: average AED 4,000, low AED 2,500, high AED 7,500, n=289, 280 companies, 13 industries, page updated 1 October 2026; highest-paying industry Automotive, then Construction and Retail; comparisons Logistics Officer AED 5,000, Logistics Supervisor AED 7,500, Logistics Manager AED 10,000), GulfTalent’s city pages for the title (averages AED 3,500 on n=141, AED 4,000 on n=19 with published cuts of AED 4,000 at 1–5 years and AED 4,500 at 6–10 years, AED 4,000 on n=13 with cuts of AED 3,000 and AED 5,500, AED 4,500 on n=7; Senior Logistics Coordinator average AED 4,500, n=7), Naukrigulf’s city page carrying the UAE commonly reported figure (AED 4,856; city range AED 2,000–10,000, n=207), and one stated job posting (AED 6,000–7,000, 8–15 years, free-zone knowledge). The three experience bands are built from the published figures named beside them and are labelled built; the published city-page cuts are printed as published. Where the publisher disagrees with itself — two UAE highs (7,500 vs 5,500), two manager figures (10,000 vs 9,500), a senior wording below the senior floor — the disagreement is printed in the guide. Excluded in full: Indeed’s Logistics Coordinator pages (UAE average AED 48,219; city average AED 50,579), Jooble’s average (AED 9,225), PayScale skill slices, jobs-board FAQ bands, blog tables, aggregator “market estimated” employer listings, recruiter listings labelled estimated, and social-media recruiter posts. Naukrigulf publishes no UAE-level page for this title; the negative result is recorded in the data pack behind this guide. Gratuity terms follow Federal Decree-Law 33/2021. SalarySouq’s conversion method is documented on the How We Calculate Salaries page.
