Figure 4.4 shows the percentage contribution to total Compensation of Employees (COE) broken down into 23 income distribution groups for 2023 and 2024. In 2024, all income groups below €90,000 had lower percentage contributions to total Compensation of Employees, while all higher income brackets increased. This overall shift to the right in the distribution of COE can be due to both an increase in salaries and/or an increase the number of employees in certain income brackets. In 2024, nearly 10% of all COE was earned by individuals in the €50,001 - €60,000 group.
