The salary comparison is based on data collected in January and February 2018 and on the evaluation of 11,454 existing positions (mostly with a university degree) at 141 companies (127 manufacturers, 14 distributors), with a focus on southern Germany. (Please note: Salaries in the eastern federal states differ considerably in some cases).
The income range shown is the sum of salary and commission/bonus at 100% plan fulfillment (see footnotes to the individual product areas). Commission/bonus relates primarily to field sales positions. The data calculated by Interconsult includes salary components such as Christmas and vacation bonuses, but not any non-cash benefits such as a company car or meal allowance.
