Average monthly earnings of employees (ILOSTAT EAR_EMTA_SEX_CUR_NB) are the mean gross monthly pay of employees, both sexes, converted to 2021 PPP dollars. Latest for Ireland: $5,577 in 2025.
This is not take-home pay: it is a national mean, before tax, for employees only, and survey coverage differs by country. From 2002 to 2025 (23 years): latest $5,577 (2025), previous year $5,441 (2024); low $2,190 (2004), high $5,577 (2025).

This series is the mean of monthly employee earnings. It is produced by ILOSTAT as indicator EAR_EMTA_SEX_CUR_NB for both sexes, published annually and expressed in 2021 PPP dollars. Because it is an arithmetic mean, it is pulled upward by high earners more than the median is. Values are gross employee pay, before income tax and social insurance, and they are not take-home pay. Only employees are covered; self-employed and contributing family workers are not part of the average.
National sources differ in survey coverage, reference period and how part-time work is treated, and the ILO converts each national series to a common purchasing-power basis. Comparisons are therefore broad. Use the chart and range buttons for the trend within one economy, and the ranked table for the latest published year. Published estimates are revised from time to time, so a later rebuild may show a different historical value.
Ireland appears first, with comparison economies where the producer publishes them. This desk filters the same official series as the all-countries view; it does not recalculate values.
Average and median monthly earnings come from ILOSTAT, in 2021 PPP dollars. These are gross employee earnings before tax, not take-home pay. National coverage differs.
