How much are Czech employers offering right now? We went through more than 18,000 October job ads on jobs.cz and kept the ones with a concrete monthly salary range in Czech crowns: 1,064 ads.

For each ad we took the midpoint of the range (CZK 40,000 to 50,000 becomes 45,000) and calculated the median. The median is the middle value: half of the ads offer more, half less, and a few very high offers cannot skew it.

Salaries by city

Median midpoint of the advertised range. Cities with at least 10 ads with a stated salary.

• Prague and Pilsen share the top spot at CZK 52,500.
• Brno, Olomouc, České Budějovice and Jihlava sit at CZK 50,000.
• Ostrava and Pardubice are just below CZK 50,000.
• Hradec Králové and Liberec offer the least, around CZK 40,000 to 43,000.

The gap between Prague and other regional capitals is smaller than you might expect. A lot depends on which roles publish a salary in each city, so treat figures for smaller cities as indicative.

Salaries by field

Field assigned from the job title.

• Sales (CZK 60,000): the figure may be lifted by commission, which some employers include in the quoted pay.
• IT & data (CZK 57,500): developers, analysts and system administrators.
• Engineering (CZK 55,000): design engineers, technologists, project engineers.
• Manufacturing (CZK 45,000): operators, assembly, welders and CNC.
• Administration (CZK 41,500) and warehouse (CZK 39,500) are at the bottom.

What it means for employers

• Publish the salary. Ads with a concrete range are a minority, so they get noticed.
• Benchmark against your region, not Prague. An offer of CZK 45,000 in Liberec is above the local median.
• In manufacturing and warehousing details matter too: shifts, sign-on bonus, commuting support.

When one ad brings in a lot of applicants, a system that sorts them helps. Hiringly is a free AI ATS: it ranks applicants by fit and explains each ranking in a sentence. A human always makes the decision.

What it means for candidates

• The median is a guide. Real offers depend on experience, company size and shifts.
• If an ad does not state a salary, ask for the range in the first round.
• Browse open roles across the Czech Republic on the Hiringly job board, no registration needed.
