14 Counties in Hungary are Below National Average Net Income
In 2019, the average gross monthly salary in Hungary amounted to HUF 295,000 (EUR 825), equivalent to an average net income of HUF 200,000 (EUR 560). There are, however, considerable differences across the country with 14 counties (out of the 19) below this amount, according to leftist GKI Economic Research’s analysis.
Principally, employees in the Western and Central Transdanubia region earned above average, while Southern Transdanubia and the Northeastern counties remained below the national average.
Pest and Győr-Moson-Sopron counties scored the highest average monthly income with HUF 223,000 (EUR 624). Fejér (HUF 220,000- EUR 616), Komárom-Esztergom (HUF 216,000- EUR 604) and Vas (HUF 208,000- EUR 582) counties also finished above the line.
