Information on net earnings (net pay taken home, in absolute figures) complements gross earnings data with respect to disposable earnings. The transition from gross to net earnings requires the deduction of income taxes and employee's social security contributions from the gross amounts and the addition of family allowances, if appropriate. The amount of these components and therefore the ratio of net to gross earnings depend on the individual situation (marital status, number of dependent children, and level of gross earnings compared to the average salary). The figures represent the percentage change on the previous period, defined as either the annual amount or the average the last 3 years. The data is based on a widely acknowledged model developed by the OECD, where tax and benefit information is obtained from national sources.

Wages In the Euro Area increased to 2607 EUR/Month in the first quarter of 2025 from 2589 EUR/Month in the fourth quarter of 2024.

For the calculation of average gross wages, account shall be taken of: — gross salaries for regular payments (regular work, overtime and on-call work and allowances charged to the employer or other payers) — the number of employees calculated from the hours relating to the corresponding payments.

Data on average wages for 2020 are not comparable with the data of previous years, as this is a change in the methodology for calculating the average wage due to exceptional circumstances caused by the epidemic.
The data of previous years will be comparable to the data in 2020 as soon as possible.

The dataset "tps00175" has been discontinued since 19/06/2025.
