Frequently asked questions
Where does the salary data come from?
From active job ads in which the employer states a salary range — currently 6,762 in Belgium. We take the midpoint of the range, convert foreign currencies and monthly/hourly wages to EUR/year, and show the median as well as p25–p75.
Why do some values seem low?
In Belgium, only 3.7 % of ads state a salary — with a disproportionate share of collective-agreement and public-sector ads among them. Jobs without a stated salary are missing. The values therefore describe the transparent part of the market; that's why we always show n and the range.
When do we show a value?
Only from 30 ads per combination (e.g. role × city). Below that, a median isn't robust and individual salaries could be inferred.
Methodology. Data as of 10/08/2026, recalculated daily. Population: active ads with a stated range; range midpoint; foreign currencies at reference rates, monthly/hourly wages annualised (country-specific monthly factors, e.g. 14 in Austria); plausibility band €8,000–400,000. Roles = ESCO occupations, industries = AI-classified company industry (excluding staffing agencies), cities = main location of the ad, departments from ISCO-08. Minimum n 30 per cell.
