Eurostat reports average annual full-time adjusted salaries for 2025

Data published by Eurostat reveals that the average annual full-time adjusted salary in Cyprus reached €29,547 in 2025, reflecting a 5 percent increase from the previous year. While this marks a steady upward trend—rising from €24,203 in 2022 to the current figure—it remains significantly lower than the European Union average of €41,500. Consequently, the Cypriot average represents only 71.3 percent of the EU mean, leaving a gap of approximately €11,917.

Across the European bloc, salary levels vary drastically. Luxembourg leads with the highest average at €85,600, followed by Denmark at €73,500 and Ireland at €64,400. In contrast, the lowest figures were recorded in Bulgaria (€16,200), Greece (€18,800), and Hungary (€20,100). Despite the disparity, Cyprus has demonstrated a robust 22.1 percent growth rate over the last three years, which outpaces the 16.2 percent increase observed at the EU level over the same period.
