AI Training Pay Against the Local Minimum Wage

Method and definitions

The public job boards of the AI training platforms this site tracks, read every hour. Minimum wages from each country's official source (labour ministries, gazettes, Eurostat), linked beside each row; exchange rates from the European Central Bank's daily reference rates. Every figure is computed by one database query over the window shown, the same query for the live report and for every edition. Each figure states its sample beneath it.

Minimum wage

The statutory minimum in force as its official source states it: national, federal, or the region or sector the source names.

Hourly minimum

The hourly rate the source states; or a daily rate divided by an 8-hour day; or a monthly rate divided by the hours the source itself states. Any other monthly or yearly minimum is not converted and the country is not compared.

Conversion

Local currency to US dollars at the European Central Bank's euro reference rates of the day (US dollars per euro over the currency per euro). Currencies the ECB does not quote are not converted.

Open to a country

A role is open to residents of a country if it is open worldwide, its list names the country, or its exclusion list does not.

Advertised pay

The hourly figure a posting states (the middle of a stated range), counted once per distinct rate as the job board counts it. The median and typical pay are the board's: typical pay runs from the 25th percentile of what roles pay (the middle of each advertised range) to the 90th-percentile advertised ceiling, stated from 3 distinct rates.

Window

Live: the last 28 complete days, in UTC. Edition: one calendar month, in UTC.

What this data cannot tell you

• Platforms that recruit without a public job board are not counted. Several large ones invite workers to projects directly.
• A listing is not a hire. Some platforms keep evergreen roles open for months, and some post one listing per language or country.
• Advertised pay is an offer for an accepted hour; unpaid time between tasks and in qualification tests lowers actual hourly earnings.
• A minimum wage is a floor, not a living wage; regional and sector minimums can be higher than the national figure shown.

How the job feeds are read and roles are classified: site methodology. How fresh, complete and consistent the data is, checked every day: data quality and coverage.

Editions

The live report covers the last 28 complete days and changes every day. Each complete month is also published as an edition, frozen two days after the month ends, so a figure you cite from an edition never moves.
