The average salary is gross, before income tax and social contributions: all wages and salaries paid in the economy divided by the number of employees, then adjusted to a full-time job using labour force survey hours. Eurostat calculates it from national accounts so that countries can be compared. It is a yearly amount, not a median and not the pay of any particular job. Eurostat does not publish it for the Netherlands, where Statistics Netherlands uses a different method.
