Raja Clavata Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Doesn't really tell you much without it being normalised against the relative cost of living in each country. Also skeptical of the UK average as I suspect it's skewed downwards due to undeclared earnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Doesn't really tell you much without it being normalised against the relative cost of living in each country. Or each county. Double whammy for me as I live in the South East and I'm below average, never mind it's Monday tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 WOW i am glad you care so much to check Your numbers did not add up in compariosn with my own, which I chose not to publish, so I double checked my own which again proved correct. I was merely pointing out either a typo in your post or an error with the site in the link. Anyway I see you corrected your figures. Happy to be of service ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robl Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 If you search around you can find several average salary calculations. Some are just the average of all full time employees. Some divide the full amount declared to the tax man divided by the full population. Some eliminate the bottom or top or both few % to avoid skewing the numbers. Some factor in part time work, maternity pay, holidays, sick days, bonuses. Some do everything in between. I’ve seen average salary calculations that read from £17k a year up to £30k a year. How do I measure it? If you can afford quilted loo roll then you’re doing alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite and this one doesn't consider a large number of countries, particularly third world - probably because "reliable" data does not exist there - so hardly a world average.
