What the indicators say

The model uses a 80% take-home factor and a 17.0% gender pay-gap context. Gender does not change the rules of the Salariva formula.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About the Jordan comparison
What does the Jordan salary index mean?
It compares Salariva's modelled gross salary level for Amman with Riga, set to 100. It is not an official national average salary.
Are the Jordan figures official?
Every indicator is labelled with its source. Salariva estimates are directional and should be verified against current government and employer sources before a decision.
What is included in the relocation budget?
The Salariva range covers roughly 2.5–4.5 months of the basic-cost basket. Visas, flights, deposits and individual family needs can increase it.
