| Methodology |
Objective of monthly statistical survey on earnings is to evaluate short term trends of monthly average and hourly earnings per total economy and by activity sector.
In view to set up the sample size, estimates of the main characteristics observed have been taken into account, which could be affected by errors of +/-3% at most and guaranteed with a probability of 95%. Starting with January 2026, the sample comprises about 23200 economic and social units. Budgetary sector units are exhaustively included in the survey, except local public administration for which data at level of local communal councils are collected based on a sample representative at level of county (about 820 units).
From 2001 onwards, for economic sector, units of four employees and over were included in the survey, covering, in 2026, 88,07% of total employees in this sector.
In order to improve the quality estimates and to increase the overall response rate, estimation methods were applied, by imputing the missing data from the statistical survey with the data reported in administrative sources ("Declaration on payment obligations related to social contributions, the income tax and nominal records of insured persons (D112)", owned by National Agency for Fiscal Administration). The imputation rate is about 15%. Type of non-response taken into account: refusal, units not identified, units not contacted, dormant or insolvency units at the end of the reference period (that reported data in administrative sources).
Also, starting with January 2024, the data for the units belonging to the central public administration (ministries, national institutions, authorities/agencies, s.o.) are estimated based on the information declared in D112, according to the processing flow developed for the estimation of statistical indicators.
The average net monthly earnings results by subtracting from the paid gross amount related to the average gross monthly earnings the mandatory social contributions of the employees and the corresponding tax, the results being divided by the average number of employees.
The average gross monthly earnings is defined according to the specifications from the FOM107D matrix.
The average number of employees is defined according to the specifications from the FOM104G matrix.
Data are aggregated by homogeneous activity of units, meaning that in public administration activity (according to CANE Rev.3) there are not included all the secondary activities developed in central and local public administration of type:
- social assistance;
- arts, sports and recreation;
- landscape and services for buildings;
- agriculture;
- water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities;
- construction;
- transportation and storage;
- electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply;
- renting and sub-renting real estate goods etc.
Information about secondary activities are included each of them in economic activities according to the corresponding CANE Rev.3.
Information regarding ''budgetary sector'' should be used carefully because data refer to statistics from economic activity (aggregated by homogeneous activity) according to CANE Rev.3 of public administration, education, human health and social work activities (including private sector for education - about 3.2% in 2025, respectively human health and social work activities - about 13.3% in 2025) except armed forces and staff assimilated (Ministry of National Defense, Romanian Intelligence Office, Ministry of Administration and Interior etc.).
These statistics do not take into account the financing type, their purpose being to provide information by economic activity according to CANE Rev.3.
Information corresponding to the financing type are administered by the Ministry of Public Finance, in keeping with the stipulations of Government Emergency Ordinance no.48/2005, with later completions and modifications.
As a result of a new Classification of Activities in the National Economy (CANE Rev.3 - developed in accordance with the provisions of the Commission delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/137 amending Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Revision 2) entering into force and as a consequence, the updating of the activity carried out by the economic agents, starting with the reference year 2026, INS collects, produces and disseminates statistical indicators based on this classification.
In order to ensure the comparability with previous periods, the monthly data related to the year 2025 regarding the earnings and the number of employees at the end of the month were estimated in accordance with CANE Rev.3 classification. The estimation method applied is based on a CANE Rev.2 - CANE Rev.3 conversion matrix, used for recoding active statistical units in the Statistical Register of Enterprises. The collection of information on CANE Rev.3 was achieved by using multiple data sources both administrative and statistical, with the aim of improving the quality of statistical data and ensuring a complete coverage of all of CANE Rev.3 classes. The conversion matrix thus constructed ensures methodological coherence and comparability of statistical data series.
In some economic activities, a differentiated minimum gross basic salary is applied.
This matrix represents a continuation of the FOM106D matrix, containing data up to Year 2025, according to CANE Rev.2.
The data are operative.
The average net earnings disseminated monthly do not contain severance payments, backdated paid arrears as consequence of wining the lawsuits involving the money rights related to previous years. |
