Both average gross earnings and average net earnings without tax benefits went up by 17.5%, and average net earnings including tax benefits grew by 18.2% year-on-year.

The payment of the “service premium” (the so-called “firearms money”) in February for the army and the law enforcement personnel, corresponding to a six-month salary, the planned wage raises in certain government branches, as well as the increase in the minimum wage and the minimum wage for skilled workers explain, in the first place, the outstanding growth, the statistical agency explains.

Average gross earnings amounted to HUF 551,700 for full-time male employees and to HUF 456,900 for full-time female employees, representing increases of 18.1% for males and 16.5% for females over a year.

The reclassification of several educational institutions from the budgetary into the non-profit sector, following a change in their controlling authority in August 2021, contributed to the above-average increase in regular average earnings in the non-profit sector, as such a significant base effect was still present in the first semester of the year.

Real earnings rose by 5.1%, along with an 11.8% year-on-year increase in consumer prices.

Gross median earnings were HUF 396,200, surpassing the previous year’s value by 15%.
