It is the average net monthly salary, in full-time equivalent, of private-sector employees who work in the commune, wherever they live, according to the INSEE all-employees database (Base Tous salariés).

A town that hosts a corporate headquarters or highly skilled jobs can have a high average salary with few residents. INSEE publishes the figure only when there are enough employees.
