pagën

Pagën is an Albanian noun meaning the salary or wage paid to a worker. It is the definite singular form of pagë, the base noun for remuneration from work. Albanian marks definiteness on the noun by suffixing, so pagën corresponds to "the salary." The term is widely used in discussions of employment, payroll, and labor statistics, and appears in contracts, government reports, and news coverage related to wages.

In usage, pagën denotes monetary compensation for services rendered and is typically part of expressions that specify time frame or rate, such as monthly salary or gross pay. It may occur in both formal and informal contexts, and is often distinguished from other components of compensation, such as bonuses, allowances, or benefits.
