The average annual net earning for an individual in the European Union was 28,000 Euros in 2023, an increase of over 2000 Euros since 2022. The average earning figure may not represent what a normal person earns in the EU, however, as this figure is skewed by regions and individuals which earn higher amounts.

Supplementary notes

Figures are for a single person without children. Net earnings are calculated from gross earnings by deducting the employee's social security contributions and income taxes, and adding family allowances in the case of households with children. Income tax and social security contributions parameters refer to the beginning of the fiscal year, i.e. changes occurring later during the year are ignored.
