I keep getting calls from recruiters offering 30k€ in North Spain, but they are hurting, as nowadays everybody is getting better deals thanks to remote work.
so I guess this is annual, not monthly? Or is there some other division of salary that I haven't thought of?

Tax returns are public in Sweden too. I would guess it's the same in Denmark (even if they're not quite as socialist); Perhaps Finland. But the majority of tech in Europe is: Dublin, Berlin and Amsterdam. AFAIK none of those have host countries which publicly disclose tax information;
Sweden and Denmark don’t differ in how much “socialist” they are. Also, they’re not socialist countries.
I would say Sweden and Denmark are more ‘socialist leaning’ compared to other democratic republics of the world.
The worst bit about this is that in Europe, employers don't have to pay for insurance versus the US side yet we still find ways to dick over our European hires by having them come in very low. I've worked at places making 150k USD where the most knowledgeable people I worked with were making 90k GBP in Europe. We lost a lot of people during the great exodus of inflation at the beginning of the "Ukraine training exerc…
People are heated about how they add the same value whether in SF or Kentucky, but forget there are people even more valuable than them getting paid significantly less.
If you are fighting against location based pay, you should be asking your employer to pay all employees on similar teams worldwide the same
Super nice to see this becoming public finally!! Great stuff, I'm excited to see the clarity and transparency this will bring to the table.
This might be realistic for people working 100% for San Francisco companies

Sweden & Denmark favour high taxes and social responsibility; I'm sure you are aware but in socialist countries, healthcare, education and economic support are all provided free to every citizen, regardless of how much they earn. Sweden & Denmark absolutely live that vision. People get confused because they've conflated socialism and communism, where communism is a means of controlling and distributing the means of p…

Here's a list how much employers pay for insurance: https://blog.eurodev.com/social-security-tax-rates-employers... .
Weird to generalize this over "Europe", since you better live in very specific countries/cities in the UK, Switzerland, Ireland, Netherlands, Luxembourg or Germany, otherwise those salary ranges are completely meaningless to you/your employers, especially the Tier 3 wages. Better naming would be "Compensation across Europe's biggest tech hubs".
Does it support Ireland? I couldn't see figures for that country.
This is why I dislike the fight against location based pay in the U.S. People are heated about how they add the same value whether in SF or Kentucky, but forget there are people even more valuable than them getting paid significantly less.

Just wanted to say thanks for putting this together. Looking forward too seeing the dataset grow.
The data is based on what the companies advertise, and the data size is of around 2000 salaries for each country:
- Switzerland: https://swissdevjobs.ch/salaries/all/all
- Germany: https://germantechjobs.de/en/salaries/all/all
- UK: https://devitjobs.uk/salaries/all/all
- Romania: https://devjob.ro/en/salaries/all/all
Important to add that we don't catch the whole spectrum of the market (missing FAANG-like and some top international startups), so basically our 90 percentile will be probably an 80 percentile if you add those.
I think it's important to also have this perspective, because not everyone has the determination & luck to go through the whole interview process at FAANG-like companies.
