Gehaltsreport 2026: 1,3 Millionen Gehaltsdaten im Vergleich: Gehören Sie zu den Besserverdienern in Deutschland?
Das Gehalt gehört nach wie vor zu den Tabuthemen in Deutschland. Finden Sie heraus, wie gut Sie im Vergleich in einzelnen Berufen, Branchen und Bundesländern verdienen.
In Germany, the question of salary is a crucial one for employees. They wonder how much they earn, how much they should ask for during annual reviews, and when a job change financially makes sense. Despite this, discussing someone's income remains a taboo in the country. However, companies are now required to include the average salary in job advertisements starting from June.
Currently, only about 16 percent of German employers provide this information in job postings, compared to around 70 percent in the UK and 35 percent in France.
Stepstone, a job platform, annually publishes a salary report that uses data from 1.3 million salary records to compare which industries or professions German workers earn the most in. Their analysis reveals how one's earnings compare to others and whether there might be potential for a higher income.
