Salary calculator

Estimates are derived from researched median salaries for each career in the US, UK and EU, adjusted with country-level wage factors and each career's real pay spread. Where official government data covers the job (BLS in the US, ONS in the UK, Job Bank in Canada, MOM in Singapore, Jobs and Skills Australia, the Bundesagentur für Arbeit in Germany, CBS in the Netherlands, the FSO in Switzerland, INE in Spain), the calculator shows that official figure instead. Treat the output as a well-informed range, not a quote: company, city and negotiation can move real offers well above or below it.

Twelve markets: the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, the UAE and Singapore.

All figures are gross annual salary, before tax. Tax treatment differs enormously between countries (the UAE does not levy income tax on individuals, according to the UAE government portal), so check the tax note on each country's salary page.

Where a national statistics office publishes pay for the job (the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the US, the ONS in the UK, Job Bank in Canada, the Ministry of Manpower in Singapore, Jobs and Skills Australia, the Bundesagentur für Arbeit in Germany, Statistics Netherlands, the Swiss Federal Statistical Office and INE in Spain), the calculator uses those official figures. Everywhere else it uses the Paygrade salary model, the same estimates shown and labelled on our salary pages. Our methodology page explains both, and every figure is free to download from our open data page.
