Only salary figures that the employer publishes in the listing itself are counted. All amounts are normalized to gross EUR per month: hourly rates × 164.7; yearly salaries ÷ 12; for ranges we take the midpoint. Unsafe mixed units and unrealistic values are excluded. A distribution (P10–P90) or median is only published with at least 10 salaried listings — fewer, truthful figures over noisy ones.
