Rates used
The required salary keeps the same annual take-home pay after income tax and employee contributions, using each country's selected profile. The market figure converts at an official exchange rate. The purchasing power figure converts with World Bank household consumption price levels, which average the whole country and do not reflect a specific city, rent or lifestyle.
How to read this comparison
The required salary keeps your annual take-home pay after income tax and employee contributions. The market figure converts at the official exchange rate: the European Central Bank euro reference rate where the ECB publishes one, otherwise the World Bank annual average. The purchasing power figure uses World Bank International Comparison Program price levels for household consumption, so it reflects what money buys on average across the country rather than in one city.
