Countries: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Estonia, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Belgium, Denmark

How the figures are built
- National average — OECD average annual wages per full-time equivalent employee (series AV_AN_WAGE).
- Sector ratio — Eurostat national accounts (nama_10_a64): compensation of
employees ÷ number of employees, relative to the whole economy.
- 14 EU countries + Norway: each country's own Eurostat sector ratios
- Canada and Australia: EU-27 average sector structure (marked as an estimate)
- Switzerland: only sectors with Swiss data
- United States and United Kingdom: no sector figures; the website offers occupation-level pay from BLS and ONS instead
- Sector benchmark = national average × sector ratio.
Limitations: sector figures are modelled estimates, not directly measured salaries. Sector ratios are per employee, not per full-time equivalent, so sectors with many part-time workers (healthcare, education, retail, hospitality) may appear lower than full-time pay. Figures are not adjusted for cost of living.
MCP server
A remote MCP server lets AI assistants query the benchmarks directly.
