This is 10.1% more than at the same time last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;Second-quarter wage growth of 10.1% was the highest in recent years,&#8221; said <strong>Argo Tarkiainen<\/strong>, an analyst at Statistics Estonia. One reason for the wage growth could be wage pressures related to general price hikes, the analyst noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">By job sector, average monthly gross salaries were the highest in information and communications (3,034 euros), financial and insurance activities (2,746 euros), and energy (2,337 euros). &#8220;Average gross wages were the lowest in accommodation and food service (1,048 euros), real estate (1,183 euros), and other service activities (1,255 euros),&#8221; Tarkiainen pointed out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Average salaries increased the most in accommodation and food service activities (up 18.6%) and manufacturing (up 14.8%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The average monthly gross salary continued to be highest in Harju (1,829 euros) and Tartu counties (1,753 euros) and lowest in Valga (1,182) and Hiiu counties (1,117 euros).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Compared to the same period last year, the biggest growth in salaries and wages was recorded in Ida-Viru county (16.0%) and P\u00f5lva county (14.8%). However, salaries decreased in both Valga (0.3%) and Hiiu counties (4.4%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Gross salary is the salary before social taxes, unemployment insurance, and pension payments are deducted. Therefore, the average Net (or take-home) salary in Estonia in the second quarter of 2022 was 1350 euros.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2.png 1200w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-650x542.png 650w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-1024x853.png 1024w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-768x640.png 768w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-85x71.png 85w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-18x15.png 18w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-120x100.png 120w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-150x125.png 150w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-210x175.png 210w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-180x150.png 180w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WagesQ2-450x375.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; According to the latest data from Statistics Estonia, in the 2nd quarter of 2022, the average monthly gross salary &hellip; <span class=\"read-more-excerpt\">Read more<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":109139,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[13431,14064,14840,15003,16080,16081,16082,16083],"class_list":["post-109133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-estonia","tag-salary-estonia","tag-statistics-estonia","tag-gross-salary","tag-salary","tag-net-salary","tag-salary-estonia-2022","tag-tax","tag-wages"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109133"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109133\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109145,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109133\/revisions\/109145"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
