Data source: List of European countries by average wage(link is external)

This is a list of countries containing monthly (annual divided by 12 months) net income (after taxes) average wages in Europe in USD currency and in Euro. Currency exchange rates for 2014 are set to 1 EUR = 1.25 USD, while for the 2015 1 EUR = 1.11 USD (as of July 2, 2015). The table above reflects the average (mean) wage as reported by various data providers. In less developed markets, actual incomes may exceed those listed in the table due to the existence of grey economies.

About average salaries in European Union member countries

While the median average wage in EU is about EUR 1470 / USD 1631 all countries are not equal, so for example the largest average salary have been registered in Luxembourg (EUR 3,149) while the lowest in Bulgaria (EUR 356).

According to the table above the largest growth for average salaries have been in Hungary (+21.77%), Greece (18.52%) and Czech Republic (8.36%) - speaking of Hungary and Czech Republic I believe the growth is affected by their national currency exchange rates to Euro, while speaking for Greece - either there is some update on how average salaries are calculated in Greece (probably in my table for 2014 - average wage for Greece was calculated for 14 months instead of 12, either... either ... well taking into account last events on troubled Greece's economy... leave me your suggestion in comments.

There were countries experiencing a huge dip for their average salaries: Denmark (-35.32%), Cyprus (-16.45%) and United Kingdom (-15.26%) - again speaking about Denmark and United Kingdom I can explain this drop with their national currency exchange rates to EUR. Speaking of Cyprus:

The 2012–13 Cypriot financial crisis(link is external), part of the wider European debt crisis, has dominated the country's economic affairs in recent times.
