Question

Can someone tell me the meaning of AED, as in salary 40 K (AED pm)?

I am thinking about working overseas for the first time and have been offered jobs in Dubai and other places around the gulf. I have come across several new terms and expressions most of which I have worked out for myself but I have yet to figure out what AED refers to in regards to salary. I don't want to appear to naive and inexperinced to a potential employer by asking them so hoping for some answers here. Tahanks

Answer 1

AED- Arab Emirates dirham  also used as Dhs. 1 AED or DHS =0.272257 U.S. dollars

commonly used AED or Dhs before the amount both convey the same meaning

AED 40K Means- AED 40000

K used instead of thousand

Answer 2

This would mean a salary of 40,000.00 United Arab Emirates Dirhams (AED/ Dhs) per month. The "K" just indicates a thousand.

It would be around 10,889.69 USD per month.

Answer 3

AED suggests for Abu Dhabi Dirham.

It is similar to using CD$ for Canadian Dollars.

pm on the other hand is an abbreviation for Per Month.

AED 40K pm is superb. Mind giving me a job too :p
