Common Questions.
Everything you need to know about the Cyprus Salary & Workforce Insights Report.
What is the Emerald Zebra Cyprus Salary Report?
The Cyprus Salary & Workforce Insights Report 2025 is an annual salary survey by Emerald Zebra, providing verified data on salaries, bonuses and workforce trends in FinTech, Financial Services, Technology and iGaming. It's the most comprehensive salary report in Cyprus, combining real data from both employees and employers.
How many people took part in the 2025 survey?
More than 700 employees and a number of employers across Cyprus participated, with additional insights drawn from 30,000+ professionals in Emerald Zebra's talent network. This strong dataset allows us to publish accurate salary benchmarks and workforce trends each year.
How is the salary data collected and verified?
Data is gathered anonymously through employee and employer surveys and verified against real placements and salary information from Emerald Zebra's recruitment database. All data is aggregated, no individual responses are identifiable.
Why is the salary survey free to download?
Emerald Zebra believes salary transparency should be accessible to everyone in Cyprus, not behind a paywall. By publishing this free salary report, we support fair pay, better hiring decisions, and equal access to reliable market data.
How can businesses use this salary benchmarking data?
Businesses can align their compensation structures with industry standards, attract top talent and enhance employee satisfaction. The benchmarks also support compliance with the upcoming EU Pay Transparency Directive (June 2026), giving organisations a head start on mandatory reporting requirements.
Why doesn't the report include city-level comparisons?
The 2025 survey captured information by city, job family and sector, but sample distribution was uneven. To protect accuracy, the free report focuses on island-wide salary data across Cyprus's key sectors. Future editions will expand into city- and role-level comparisons as participation grows.
How can I take part in next year's survey?
Participation is open to all. When the 2026 Cyprus Salary Survey launches, links will be available on the Emerald Zebra website and social channels. The more employees and employers who contribute, the more precise and useful the data becomes for everyone.
