Where the amounts come from
Official figures, with their method.
The level of each sector is the average full-time pay at the end of 2025, from ERGANI (ΕΡΓΑΝΗ), the job register of the Ministry of Labour.
The profession, the age and the size of the company take their ratio from the Structure of Earnings Survey 2022 (Έρευνα Διάρθρωσης Αμοιβών 2022) of ELSTAT, the Hellenic Statistical Authority.
Athens takes the gap between Attica and the country, from the same survey.
Each amount is an estimate for a full-time employee in the private sector, not a job offer.
The base pay of a role in banks, hotels, food service and other sectors comes from the collective agreements.
