    Can Workmarket show my net pay from a gross salary?

    Only as an estimate using explicit tax-year and personal assumptions. The initial release should request payroll confirmation rather than publish a universal gross-to-net conversion.

    Are these salary figures current job offers?

    No. The initial salary cards use the 2025 ISPV wage-sector benchmark published in March 2026. Display live advertised offers separately and show when each dataset was collected.

    Why show both average and median salaries?

    The average is the arithmetic mean; the median is the middle observation. Show both with the occupation, geography, sector, source and reference period. Neither is a guaranteed offer or take-home pay.
