Spain sources
Official sources and calculation methods used for CampCareer's Spain salary, student-cost, tuition, work and study information.
Annual salary benchmark
INE
- Method
- The dashboard uses the official annual gross median of EUR 24,497.17 and mean of EUR 29,540.26 as a median-to-mean comparison range.
- Coverage and limits
- Employees covered by the survey. This is not a percentile distribution or a graduate starting-salary forecast.
Student living costs
Spanish Ministry of Inclusion and SEPIE
- Method
- The lower value is the monthly visa-resource floor and the upper value is official national student-budget guidance.
- Coverage and limits
- One student, tuition excluded. Actual housing costs vary sharply by city and accommodation type.
Public undergraduate tuition
SEPIE
- Method
- The dashboard stores the approximate annual public-undergraduate range of EUR 700–1,800.
- Coverage and limits
- Regional, programme, repeat-enrolment and non-resident surcharges may be higher.
Minimum wage
Boletín Oficial del Estado
- Method
- The official EUR 1,221 monthly rate paid fourteen times is annualised and divided by 2,080 hours for a comparison value of about EUR 8.22 per hour.
- Coverage and limits
- Spain publishes monthly and daily SMI values; the hourly figure is a comparison calculation, not a separate universal statutory hourly rate.
Student work permission
Spanish Ministry of Inclusion
- Method
- The calculation layer stores the maximum of 30 hours per week.
- Coverage and limits
- Work must remain compatible with study and the individual authorisation conditions control eligibility.
Study-visa fee
Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Method
- The calculation layer stores the standard EUR 90 national-visa processing benchmark.
- Coverage and limits
- Reciprocity, exemptions, local-currency conversion and external service fees can change the amount paid.
