Frequently asked questions
Where does the salary data come from?
From active job ads in which the employer states a salary range — currently 156,592 in Germany. 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 Germany, only 17.0 % 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.
What does “estimate” mean?
In Austria, stating the salary is mandatory (97% of ads). For German roles without a robust measurement, we derive an estimate from the Austrian median of the same role, multiplied by an empirical factor from measured DE/AT pairs. Estimates are marked with ≈ and carry their basis in the tooltip.
