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.
