Net salary in the private sector: three thresholds to place your pay in France
Published
How much do people in France really earn compared with other employees? An online media outlet, JeChange, presents three net salary thresholds in the private sector that make it possible to place a pay level on the salary scale: 1,780 euros, 2,240 euros and 3,090 euros net per month.
These three amounts serve as benchmarks. An employee who takes home less than 1,780 euros net is therefore in the lower part of the scale. Between 1,780 euros and 2,240 euros, the salary falls into an intermediate range, while above 3,090 euros, it is among the highest pay levels in the private sector.
These benchmarks can help employees compare their situation with that of other people working in the private sector. On their own, however, they do not take into account important factors such as region, sector of activity, experience or company size, which strongly influence the level of pay.
Above all, these thresholds show that pay gaps remain significant in France. To better understand one's own situation, it is useful to look at official statistics and to consider one's occupation and professional career.
