Gehaltsreport 2026: 1,3 Millionen Gehaltsdaten im Vergleich: Gehören Sie zu den Besserverdienern in Deutschland?

In Germany, the topic of salary remains a taboo despite companies being required to disclose average salaries in job postings since June. On job platform Indeed, only around 16% of German employers currently include this information. In contrast, the United Kingdom recently saw 70% of employers doing so, while France stands at 35%.

According to a study by the staffing firm Randstad, money is the most frequently cited reason for employees to change jobs. To increase transparency, job platform Stepstone publishes an annual salary report, comparing data from 1.3 million salary figures across various industries and professions to determine where Germans earn the most.

This report allows readers to assess their own earnings relative to others and explore potential for higher income.
