How to read this
Moroccan figures are the middle half (25th to 75th percentile) of the monthly salary that listed candidates in this category expect.
Most remote hires in Morocco work as independent contractors: they invoice you and pay their own taxes and social security, so there are no employer contributions. Hiring them as employees through an employer-of-record service adds that service's fee.
Recruiting agencies often add a fee of 15–30% of the first year's salary. RemoteMaroc is free: you contact candidates directly.
European figures are country-wide averages across experience levels. Salaries in capitals and for senior roles are higher.
