The cost is for the whole company, not only for this role. The vertical line shows the average of the sector.
The estimate follows the sector and the size of the company. It is not the pay of the company itself.
Small or large company
The estimate by company headcount.
The survey does not cover companies with fewer than 10 people, nor those with 500 and more.
In December 2025, companies with fewer than 10 people paid 25.2% less a day than larger ones, across all professions, according to e-EFKA, the social security fund.
Education
Average yearly earnings in 2022, ELSTAT.
The table covers all professions in the sector “Trade”. ELSTAT does not publish education by profession, so education does not change the estimate.
Years at the company
Average monthly earnings in 2022, Eurostat.
Men and women
Average monthly earnings in 2022, Eurostat.
In the group “Professionals”, women earned 19.6% less than men. The gap also reflects the job within the group, the hours and the years, not only sex.
More recently, in December 2025, women in full-time work earned 10.4% less than men, across all professions, according to e-EFKA.
Sales and trade
Similar professions in Athens.
Two professions in the same ISCO group and the same sector have the same estimate. The official figures go no finer.
All professionsHow we calculate it
Five steps, from official figures.
The level: the average full-time gross pay of the sector “Trade” at the end of 2025, €1,343, from ERGANI (ΕΡΓΑΝΗ), the job register of the Ministry of Labour, through IOBE.
The profession: the ISCO-08 group “Professionals” earns 1.74 times the average pay of the sector, in the Structure of Earnings Survey 2022 (Έρευνα Διάρθρωσης Αμοιβών 2022) of ELSTAT.
Age: each age group takes its ratio within the same group of jobs, from the same survey.
Size: when you choose a company size, the estimate takes its ratio within the same group of jobs, from the same survey.
Athens: Attica pays 6.3% more than the country, by the hourly earnings of the survey.
The year has 14 salaries, and the estimate never falls below the minimum wage of 2026, €920. Net pay is for a single person with no children.
It is an estimate, not a job offer. The survey covers businesses with 10 or more employees, except public administration.
