METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
Data are not seasonally adjusted.

Additional explanations are available in the methodological explanations.

In accordance with the plan for upgrading statistical surveys on earnings, we will gradually switch to using a new data source. For preparing monthly statistics on earnings of persons in paid employment by legal persons and thus for calculating average monthly net and gross earnings from the reference month of April 2024 on, we will use data from the withholding tax return for income from which the withholding tax and/or social security contributions are calculated (the REK-O form).
The first release of data on earnings of persons in paid employment by legal persons for April 2024 is planned for 21 June 2024.
