Salaries in Germany

Observed employee pay from the official earnings survey — not job offers. Median is the typical pay; the average is pulled up by high earners.

Actual pay depends on hours, region, experience, employer and pay components. This is gross pay before tax and insurance, shown per hour, week, month or year exactly as the source publishes it — we never convert between them.
