Salaries by city

Explore how local pay pressure and cost of living compare across 418 cities in 17 countries — then open a city hub for roles with observed metro salary percentiles.

How to use this page

Pay index is relative to that country’s national average (100 = average). Cost of living is scaled to a US baseline (100). Neither replaces a role-specific salary page.

City salary pages for individual jobs are published when we have observed percentiles for that metro and occupation. If a role is missing for a city, use the national salary page for that country instead of a modeled guess.
