Method
- Population: current (not expired) job ads with a stated salary; the “from” amount in the ad is used.
- Normalisation: € per month, gross; hourly pay × 168 h, daily × 21 days; 91 ads in this set were converted.
- Removed: 91 ads explicitly marked “net / take-home”, 11 duplicates (same employer, title, city and amount); amounts outside €300–20,000 per month (0).
- Statistics: median and quartiles (P25–P75, inclusive method); the table rounds to the nearest €50, the CSV is exact. Groups with fewer than 5 ads are not shown.
- Limits: this describes ads, not employees (an employer posting many similar ads weighs more); some ads do not say whether the amount is gross; actual pay may differ. The “Office & IT” category is broad: see the specialisations.

FAQ
Is this what people actually earn?
No. These are salaries employers advertise. Actual pay depends on experience, negotiation and bonuses.
Gross or net?
Gross (before tax). Ads explicitly marked “net / take-home” are excluded. To see what you take home use the salary calculator.
Why is my profession missing?
We only show groups with at least 5 ads that state a salary. A broader category or specialisation usually has enough data.
How often is it updated?
The page is recalculated from current ads whenever the job list is refreshed; the date is at the top.
Where can I see actual jobs?
All jobs with filters are here; employers can post a job for free.
