Salary calculator here is computed against Eurostat. The inputs are shown, the assumptions are written down, and the result is a range rather than a single number wherever the underlying data supports only a range.
The question here is what a job pays in one country against another, measured on the same definition in both. The published series covers a single person on the average wage, before and after tax, which is the only comparison that holds across borders: a headline salary in one country is taxed differently in the next, and two gross figures from two tax systems are not the same number twice. What it cannot do is price a particular job. Occupation, sector, seniority and employer all move pay more than the country does, and none of them is in this series.
Worked example: Austria in 2025. Gross pay of 5,219 euro a month leaves 3,529 euro after tax and contributions, a gap of 32.4 percent.
It covers 35 countries, which is exactly the set the source measures and no more.
The figures behind this tool describe 2025 and they change when Eurostat publishes, not when this page is edited. That is why the year appears next to every value rather than in the small print: a tool whose data is a year old and says so is more useful than one that looks current and is not.

Questions
Where do the numbers come from?
Salary calculator computes against Eurostat. Every figure it uses carries the institution that published it and the year it describes.
Is the result a quote?
No. It is an estimate from published statistics, and it says which statistics and for which year. Anything binding has to come from whoever is going to charge you.
