Seriously,  $254.23 

What gracious hearts they have. 

Considering, from 146 respondents over the past 18 months in Iraq,  the cost of living in Iraq is 37.31% lower (for all cities, does not include rent) than the United States and the average rent is is 61.03% lower than the United States. This means the bonus is equivalent to $405.54 in the United States if the bonuses were equally distributed. The average monthly disposable salary (net after tax) is $709.16. So this would mean their bonus equated to 35.85% of their average monthly disposable income. Take your average disposable income (net after taxes) multiply it by 35.85%. Would you like to receive that as a bonus? I know I would.  NOTE: All currency specified is in USD.

Average rent for a 3 bedroom apartment inside the the city is approximately $832.72 the bonus is 30.53% of one month's rent.

Average rent for a 3 bedroom apartment outside the city is approximately 559.70; the bonus is 45.42% of one month's rent. 

That is 30 to 45 percent of rent they don't have to worry about for one month. Considering rent accounts for 23.6% of their monthly expenses (second highest category in their monthly expenses).

I'm getting a headache too.:lol: 

That's one way of looking at it. I however was considering that Iraq is sitting on one of the largest oil reserves in the world, while Kuwait , a relatively small and insignificant country pays its citizens $50,000 a year.

Speaking in terms of relativity what Iraq had offers its people and has continually offered  their people is an insult. 

Nevertheless, under the circumstances it is a generous amount of money for those who have little

The bonus is for Rafidian Bank staff and does not include all employees.

Staff salaries at U.S. Bank can range from $37,220-$136,643.

Individual bonuses can range from a few thousand to tens of millions of dollars, pounds or euros, payable in cash or less obvious forms including pension funds, shares, options, profit-shares and assets derived from the bank's transactions. A variable performance-related bonus is often the substantial part of a senior banker's contractual remuneration; thus they effectively work for a share in the net profits (but not net losses) for which they are responsible, with a relatively small fixed salary. Such bonuses are payable under contract.

300,000 dinars X $.10 = $30K is a nice bonus

Well if they knew it was going 1 to 1, then everybody would be happy with that kind of bonus... I'm just saying

 

 

B/A

Currently Iraqis are using the dollar as their main form of currency. The only way they are going to go away from the dollar if one or two things happen:

1. The dollar becomes illegal in Iraq. Not going to happen while still pegged to it.

2. The IQD must exceed the value of the dollar in order for the common person in Iraq to rationalize not using the dollar as the main currency. 

3. A combination of the above. However, I don't think Iraq will make the dollar illegal to use and I am against that notion anyhow. 

A 1 to 1 RV is senseless because it of equality. The Iraqis who have been using the dollar now going over 10 years will naturally gravitate to the dollar out of habit. Therefore the IQD must in the eyes of the Iraqi be of more value than the dollar. Even if dedollarizing were to happen and the IQD were to RV for 10 cents, this will cause a black market effect to which Iraq will not want because it undermines the IQD anyways. In order for Iraq to rationalize the value of the IQD, it must be more than dollar.

That's the power of thinking by using your brain which makes sense to me and other smart people out there in Dinar Land.

Great thread.......My best guess would be that this helps support the idea of a lower value such as 10 cents or lower when the value of the IQD is adjusted.  One to One would leave any of those who received it, with 300 Grand..........which in Iraq has far more value than in the US......the bank could lose all of these employees......which would be kind of pointless...JMT's.
