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

In Germany, discussions about salary are crucial for employees: how much they earn, what they can demand during annual discussions, and when a financial job change becomes worthwhile. However, wages in Germany are considered a taboo topic. Despite companies being required to include average salaries in job advertisements since June, only about 16 percent of German employers currently do so on the job platform Indeed. In contrast, the UK has recently had around 70 percent, while France stands at 35 percent.

Money is frequently cited as the primary reason for changing employers, according to a study by the personal consultancy Randstad. To increase transparency, the job platform Stepstone publishes its annual salary report, comparing salaries in various industries and professions using 1.3 million salary data. This article analyzes the data, allowing readers to assess their own earnings compared to others and determining if they could potentially earn more.
