Methodology
Figures are based on 16 active developer jobs that disclose a salary (12% of the total), converted to an annual amount in euros. Monthly salaries are annualised; non-EUR amounts at the current exchange rate. Only breakdowns with a sufficient sample are shown - mind the counts in brackets. Pay disclosure is lower in the Netherlands than in the US, so smaller segments are indicative.
