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. The increase in monthly earnings differs somewhat from the increase in annual earnings. The monthly earnings are compared at a specific date each year, while the change in annual earnings is from one calendar year to the next. Information for two years is used in the calculation, as well as information from wage negotiations. Estimated annual earnings for the current year are preliminary until wage statistics for the following year have been compiled.
