Salary: Top earners in Germany: These professions pay the best
Are you among the absolute top earners in Germany? An exclusive evaluation shows which professions are at the top of the salary scale.
A recent analysis by job platform Stepstone has found that top earners in Germany do not necessarily need million-euro salaries to be among the highest-paid. The median salary for the top 1% of earners is 139,000 euros, more than double that of an average employee. The top 5% and 10% of earners have median salaries of 101,250 euros and 87,000 euros, respectively.
Regionally, Hamburg has the highest salaries, followed by Hessen, Baden-Württemberg, and Bavaria, with salaries in the new federal states, such as Saxony-Anhalt, being significantly lower.
