About this data
Salary ranges are compiled from publicly available 2026 recruitment industry salary guides, including Morgan McKinley, Brightwater, Robert Half, and Hays. Figures represent gross annual salaries (before tax) for experienced professionals in each role. Junior and entry-level salaries are typically 15–25% lower than the low end of the range shown. Senior and principal-level roles may exceed the high end significantly.
This data is updated annually. Salaries vary by employer, location within each country, industry sub-sector, and individual negotiation. Use these figures as a guide for benchmarking, not as a guarantee of what any particular employer will pay.
