How we calculate salaries
Short methodology and the data behind these numbers.
- 1We collect offersOnly vacancies from open sources where the employer states pay are used.
- 2We normalise themA salary range is reduced to one comparable value per vacancy.
- 3We compute percentilesMedian, quartiles and the average are calculated from at least 5 offers; otherwise the wider country market is shown.
- 4We refresh the numbersStatistics are recomputed as new vacancies appear and closed ones drop out.
Figures are pay as published by employers: taxes, bonuses and seniority inside a grade are not accounted for.
