The Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS) reported that in October 2025, the average gross salary rose by 1.2 % compared to September, reaching €2,406.
The increase was driven by higher payouts in the private sector and seasonal bonuses such as holiday pay and overtime compensation.
For accounting firms and businesses in Ljubljana, this signals the need for accurate payroll processing and budget control, as rising salaries directly affect tax contributions and employer costs.
Employees in the public sector earned an average of €2,580, while private-sector workers reached €2,330 — showing a gradual narrowing of the gap between the two sectors.
