Before you compare pay

Mean and median differ

The mean is an average. The median is the midpoint. Compare the same measure wherever possible.

Gross is before deductions

A gross wage is not take-home pay. Tax and employee deductions depend on your circumstances.

Hours need an assumption

An hourly figure cannot tell you monthly pay without your working hours. No full-time schedule is assumed here.
