What the indicator measures
The calculation combines national accounts and Labour Force Survey data. It starts from gross annual salaries and adjusts part-time employment to full-time equivalents using working hours.
This is an average, rather than the take-home pay of each employee or a minimum wage. The figures are not adjusted for inflation and do not compare purchasing power. The Netherlands uses a different methodology and its data are provided separately.
