Question 1

How is the comparison calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your gross monthly figure is compared against Eurostat's mean gross earnings for that occupation in the country, the country's average gross, and the EU average. These are averages, not a full pay distribution, so the tool does not estimate percentiles or a precise rank within a country.

Question 2

Why enter gross, not net?

Accepted Answer

Eurostat's occupation earnings are gross (before tax and social contributions). Enter your gross monthly pay so the comparison is like-for-like. Use the gross-to-net calculator to estimate take-home.

Question 3

Which countries and jobs are covered?

Accepted Answer

Countries with Eurostat Structure of Earnings data, grouped into the nine ISCO-08 occupation categories. Countries or occupations without published data are omitted.
