annual salary
The amount of salary that an employee receives from their employer within one year, usually before taxes and social security contributions are deducted.
Sein Jahresgehalt beträgt 70.000 Euro brutto.
His annual salary is 70,000 euros gross.
This word is made up of 'Jahres-' (of the year) and 'Gehalt' (salary). So it refers to the amount of salary that you receive from an employer in one year.
Im Bewerbungsgespräch wurde auch über das Jahresgehalt gesprochen.
The annual salary was also discussed in the job interview.
The word 'Jahresgehalt' (annual salary) is often used with the adjectives 'brutto' (gross, before taxes) and 'netto' (net, after taxes). In job advertisements and contracts, it usually means the gross annual salary.
Das angegebene Jahresgehalt von 50.000 Euro ist der Bruttobetrag.
The stated annual salary of 50,000 euros is the gross amount.
This word is used almost exclusively in the context of employment relationships. People talk about it in job offers, employment contracts, or salary negotiations.
Sie konnte in der Gehaltsverhandlung ein höheres Jahresgehalt erreichen.
She was able to achieve a higher annual salary in the salary negotiation.
salary / content
'das Gehalt' and 'das Jahresgehalt' both refer to pay from an employer. 'Gehalt' is often used for the regular payment, especially the monthly amount. 'Jahresgehalt' means the total salary for a whole year. The words are easy to confuse because both are connected to work and pay. When you are talking about a single monthly payment, 'Gehalt' is more natural. When you are talking about the total pay per year, for example in a job application or contract, 'Jahresgehalt' is more precise.
Im Arbeitsvertrag steht das Jahresgehalt auf der ersten Seite.
The annual salary is written on the first page of the employment contract.
