How much are HR Officers earning in 2026?

I'm five years in, handling recruitment and payroll for a 90-person company . Currently on 1,300 USD plus transportation. Half my friends say that's fair for this market, the other half tell me I'm underpaid for the workload. What are people actually seeing this year — and is anyone still on a split-currency package?
