What you get
ESCO title match (Exact / Close / No direct)
P10 → P25 → P50 → P75 → P90 range

Data provenance & rationale
Job-ad snippet & recruiter brief copy
Step 1 — Role input
We normalise your title to ESCO before benchmarking.
EU Directive 2023/970 — Transposition planned
Portugal is transposing the Directive by June 2026. Portugal's Labour Code (Código do Trabalho) provides a baseline; the Directive adds job-ad disclosure requirements.
How the range is built

We use P25–P75 as the recommended hiring range. P10 and P90 flanks give you the full distribution picture.

The experience level selector adjusts the midpoint relative to the market median: Entry −20%, Senior +18%, Lead +30%.

All data comes from official national statistics (CBS, Eurostat, Destatis, SCB and others).

Strong — 20+ records Moderate — 5–19 Limited — <5

How percentiles are calculated

Percentile values are taken directly from source publications where available. For sources that publish median and mean only, P10/P25/P75/P90 are derived using empirically-observed salary distribution ratios.

All figures are gross annual salary in EUR. Where source currency differs, ECB quarterly rates are applied.

Confidence is Limited — fewer than 5 records available. Cross-check before external use.
