To become a top earner in Germany, one should typically take on personal responsibility for a team. Although more companies are now investing in career development and offering higher salaries to experts, a study by Stepstone shows that even those who lead a small team of up to four employees have a more than double chance of earning a six-figure salary compared to someone without leadership responsibilities.
The salary comparison platform analyzed around 1.3 million salary data collected from German workers between 2022 and 2026, focusing exclusively on individuals with leadership roles. Salary figures are presented as median gross annual salaries, meaning there are an equal number of underpaid and overpaid jobs. Industries where leadership positions earn the most include banking, insurance, and IT.
The median salary in banking is 96,000 euros, with chief technology officers earning around 143,000 euros. In insurance, the median is 88,500 euros, and for IT companies, it's 85,250 euros. Factors such as location, company size, and professional experience also affect the income of those with leadership responsibilities. In Hamburg, for example, leadership positions are particularly well-paid, with a median salary of 71,750 euros due to the presence of numerous large companies.
