What is the average salary in Ireland if we were to exclude minimum wager jobs such as retail 70 to 100k would be my guess.
Here is the distribution of weekly earnings in 2020:
The 90th percentile in 2020 is 1,473 per week.
76,861 pa in 2020.
That would be over 80k by now.
Lower than I expected.
Note that this is earnings, and not income.
Table of distribution of earnings, 2020.
An interesting scenario.
Based on the CSO Structural Earnings data, I am close enough, maybe just below the 90th percentile.
Yet our household income is below the average, as there is one earner for four people.
Some more data on the distribution of earnings:
For those of you who want median earnings of FT workers, the CSO don't publish that, but Eurostat do.
It was 40,074 in 2018.
So top 10% of earners make 90k or more is it what about top 5%?
In 2020, the threshold for the 90th percentile of earnings was 76,861.
95% is 1,889 per week, or 98,568 per annum.
2020 data.
Interesting
Exactly that is what matters and right now inflation is biting people. Hopefully it will pass.
Lucky.
Luck has nothing to do with it.
My wife and I are both civil servants. We earn significantly less than that
Yes, obviously half of all workers earn below the median, which was 40,500 in 2020.
Some civil service pay scales are below:
hahaha , friend would land in the top tier, he can spoof like stephen donnelly
I don't know your age, but it's worth noting that most people's earnings rise with age, and tend to peak in their late 50s. This is both because more skilled and experienced workers can earn more than less skilled/experienced people doing the same job, and also because promotion to better-paying positions is correlated with seniority and experience.
So younger people will be over-represented in the below-the-median earners, and middle-aged people over-represented in the over-the-median earners. Most over-the-median earners will have been under-the-median earners at some time in their career — possibly quite a long time.
You can double this for the American IT companies
EHECS Survey its very comprehensive in fairness
Well yeah anyone like Stephen Donnelly would rise to top tier in IT. Easily.
In the UK at the moment, so with the tax circumstances and currency conversion, I'm roughly in the 80-90k euro range for being a "plain old" Engineer
Was offered a role recently for Principal Network Engineer in IE which was €100-120k, but perks were absolute pants, along with the added responsibility.
I have a friend who was recently offered a Dev role at Microsoft starting at €150k but was negotiable.
Dev Role for 150k is extremely high. Suspect it is more than your usual Dev role.
Could have been a team lead, they have years of experience.
What would a general dev be looking at mid/high end?
But doesnt a salary of 75k put you in the top 10% of earners?
Maybe even the top 7 or 8%.
I guess once you get past the 50k mark, the margins slim down somewhat as you make your way up that salary tree.
Inflation is over estimated before this recent spike how much inflation had taken place in 10 years in milk breakfast roles not a lot.
In 2020, the threshold for the 95th percentile is 1,889 per week, or 98,568 per annum.
What perks do you get in your UK role that weren't on offer in the Irish role?
I presume earnings includes pension, bonuses and other benefits.
Depends on how the statistic is compiled. If based on revenue data, it likely includes all taxable earnings, which would include overtime, bonuses, etc but would not include pension contributions (but would include pension payments).
Irish job involved team lead, so more hours and responsibility (I do 35 hrs Mon to Fri and WFH whenever I need currently).... a drop of 10 days A/L ...lose 18% into pension... life assurance is only 4 times final pay rather than my current 8 times... less health insurance and in service health issue benefits (I'd be out of pocket to keep my current levels of cover) ...
Then there is moving back to IE, and sort of increase in wage would probably be taken up by trying to run a car over there.
I've a young family too, so time is a lot higher on my priorities than working like a dog for an extra 10k
Mid 60
High 90
For Senior Developer.
