Median gross monthly earnings of employees in Cyprus rose 3.8 per cent to 1,953 euros in 2025 from 1,881 euros in 2024, according to Statistical Service (Cystat) estimates released on Monday.
Average gross monthly earnings rose 4.3 per cent to 2,591 euros from 2,483 euros the previous year.
The largest share of employees, 13.0 per cent, earned between 1,000 and 1,249 euros a month. They were followed by those earning 1,500 to 1,749 euros (11.4 per cent) and 1,250 to 1,499 euros (11.2 per cent).
Gender gap
The biggest differences between men and women were in specific pay bands, Cystat said. In the 1,000 to 1,249 euro and 1,250 to 1,499 euro bands, the share of women was higher than that of men by 3.3 and 3.5 percentage points respectively.
In the top band, 6,000 euros and above, the share of men was 3.1 percentage points higher than that of women.
Earnings by sector
Average gross monthly earnings ranged from 956 euros in agriculture, forestry and fishing to 5,038 euros in financial and insurance activities.
Earnings rose in every sector compared with 2024. The biggest increase was in mining and quarrying, at 10.3 per cent, though Cystat noted the sector employs few people, so its estimates are more affected by changes in individual data. Information and communication followed with 7.7 per cent, and financial and insurance activities with 7.0 per cent.
