Midpoint of the yearly pay range each employer published in its own job posting (base pay; most US states with pay-transparency laws require it). Postings without a range are left out, so these figures describe the roles that publish pay, not every role. A row needs at least 5 postings. Last checked 7 Nov 2026. This is not a salary survey and not tax advice; for take-home pay in Germany ask a Steuerberater.
