For reference: the statutory minimum wage in Germany has stood at €13.90 gross per hour since January 1, 2026 — roughly €2,410 gross a month for a full-time role at 40 hours/week. (BMAS: Mindestlohn steigt zum 1. Januar 2026 auf 13,90 Euro)

Gross fixed salary per year for a senior Data Analyst (5 to 12+ years of experience) at a German SMB or Mittelstand company. Berlin, Munich and Hamburg in the SaaS and scale-up scene pull the range upward (72 to 95 k€); classic Mittelstand and regional locations trend downward (52 to 65 k€). A track record of analyses that changed concrete business decisions, ownership of the metric layer (dbt or an equivalent) and informal mentoring of junior analysts pull up; a pure reporting history pulls down. Public salary data at this specific level is thin: the figures below reconcile Stepstone's Lead Data Analyst band with Gehalt.de's Senior Data Analyst sample, since no single source publishes a clean senior-only cut. Variable compensation is atypical in this role.
