Regional averages Unweighted mean of the published values in each region — our aggregation, not an official statistic.
How to read this figure Our own calculation: the OECD average annual wage multiplied by (1 − the OECD net personal average tax rate). Both legs share the same denominator — gross wage earnings — which is what makes the multiplication valid; the tax wedge, which is measured against total labour cost including the employer’s contributions, cannot be used this way. It is a comparable type case for a single average earner: not your salary, and not a full net-income figure, since it excludes benefits, deductions and consumption taxes.

How to read this list The average wage after income tax and employee social contributions, USD PPP — our calculation from the OECD average wage and the OECD net personal average tax rate. 37 countries publish it; the rest are absent from the list rather than shown as zero. The figures were observed between 2023 and 2025 — a spread of 24 months — so this compares each country’s latest published number, not one moment in time. Every row carries its own date in the CSV and JSON ; use it. Nothing here is estimated or carried forward to fill a gap. This metric is one column of the full dataset .
