Global Salary Trends
Average salaries depend on several factors, including age, the type of company you work for, and where you’re located.
All these elements play a significant role in determining compensation levels across the globe, reflecting economic conditions, market demand, and career opportunities. Let’s take a look at how salaries differ by age, company type, and the top countries offering the highest salaries.
Salary by Age
Your age and experience level have a big impact on your salary. Younger workers – particularly those in their early twenties – often earn lower salaries due to limited experience and entry-level positions. As people gain more experience and grow in their careers, their pay tends to increase.
| Age | Average Annual Salary (USD) |
|---|---|
| 18-24 | $48,079 |
| 25-34 | $82,470 |
| 35-44 | $102,512 |
| 45-54 | $113,205 |
| 55-64 | $127,053 |
| 65+ | $123,441 |
Salary by Company Type
The type of company you work for also affects your salary. According to our survey, freelance workers tend to earn the highest salary – this is perhaps due to the flexibility they have in setting their own rates and working with multiple clients. While freelancing can come with its challenges, it may be a great choice for those with in-demand skills and an established client base.
When it comes to different types of companies, the salary trends start to change depending on the nature of the work.

| Freelance | $150,106 |

Global Bonuses
Bonuses are an important part of compensation for many professionals around the world. They serve as incentives for performance, rewards for meeting targets, or simply as end-of-year perks. According to our survey, 57% of respondents receive bonuses at their company, while the remaining 43% do not.
Bonus distribution also varies by experience level, with junior employees being the least likely to receive one. In the past year, 9% of juniors received a bonus, compared to 30% of intermediate professionals, 47% of senior employees, and 14% of directors. While juniors may have fewer opportunities for bonuses, this remains a great perk to negotiate in employment contracts.
Industry also plays a role in bonus distribution, with the technology sector leading at 26.1%, followed by professional services 16.6%, banking and financial services 15%, healthcare 6.8%, and manufacturing 5.9%.
