Assumptions

- Hourly pay is calculated using standard full-time hours per week for each country (typically 35–40 hours).
- All figures are gross pay — before taxes, Social Security, Medicare, retirement contributions, health insurance, or other deductions.
- We do not include overtime rates, bonuses, commissions, or tips.
- Cost-of-living factors are approximate estimates based on publicly available data.
- Freelance multipliers are rules of thumb, not guaranteed market rates.
