The ‘average full-time adjusted salaries per employee’ is an indicator calculated by Eurostat. It is requested by the Blue Card Directive adopted on 20 October 2021 as a threshold to be used nationally to grant working permits to high-skilled workers. Practically, the indicator stands for a salary that is sufficient to live decently in a Member State. Such a salary is estimated from the average annual salary for a full-time job.

The indicator is based on two data sources:

• The regular set of National Accounts data transmitted by the Member States under the European System of Accounts 2010 Transmission Programme (ESA 2010 TP);
• The EU-Labour Force Survey, conducted by the National Statistical Institutes in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1700.

While users could use similar indicators published nationally, Eurostat provides a ready-to-use indicator with a common methodology and explanatory metadata.

The use of a harmonised method by Eurostat is aimed to increase transparency and cross-country comparability. However, users should be aware that there are different indicators published by the countries or other international organisations that may use partly different sources. While these can be more suited for specific analysis, users are invited to consult the metadata published with the respective indicators to be aware of specific sources, methods and/or assumptions used.
