Bonus drop for real estate agents

Average monthly bonus payments for real estate agents amounted to NOK 7 000 in 2009; NOK 1 600 less than in 2008. The bonuses comprise a significant part of wages for this occupational group.

Average monthly earnings for real estate agents, excluding overtime, were at NOK 41 500 as per 1 September 2009; an increase of NOK 200, equivalent to 0.5 per cent. This relatively low increase in wages is mainly due to a decline in average monthly bonus payments. In comparison, average basic salary increased by NOK 1 200, which is 3.7 per cent higher than the year before.

Publications of wage statistics in 2009 apply a new standard industrial classification (SIC2007). Wage statistics 2008/2009 presented here are thus according to the new standard.

About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on information from a sample of enterprises which cover a total of 5 110 full-time employees and 876 part-time employees. According to the Norwegian Central Register of Enterprises and Establishments as per September 2009, real estate activities comprise in total 20 700 employees.

The term average monthly earnings is the main term in Statistics Norway's wage statistics. Monthly earnings cover basic salaries, variable additional allowances and bonuses. Payment for overtime work is not included but is presented in the statistics separately.

The method for measuring increases in monthly earnings differs somewhat from that of calculating increases in annual earnings. Monthly earnings are compared at a specific date each year, while changes in annual earnings are measured from one calendar year to the next. Estimated annual earnings for the current year are preliminary until wage statistics for the following year have been compiled.
