Salaries in Spain will rise by around 5 % in 2026, according to projections published by Randstad Research, Randstad’s research center.

According to the study, the projections are based on data on compensation in eight geographic locations: Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Seville, Valencia, A Coruña, Málaga, Bilbao, and Zaragoza. These statistics identify “salary ranges for almost 400 relevant positions in fourteen sectors and professional areas.”

Miguel Mercado, National Director of Randstad Professional, stated that “the changes affecting the Spanish economy and labor market during 2025, particularly the talent shortage and inflation, have led to greater dynamism in salary trends, and we estimate an average salary increase of around 5 % for next year.”

During 2025, the Spanish labor market has shown signs of stabilization after a period of high uncertainty. Furthermore, inflation has moderated, but “the cumulative effects of geopolitical tensions, the rising cost of living, and the slowdown in European growth continue to influence the economy’s performance.”

However, significant challenges remain related to the technological transformation driven by AI, as well as advanced automation and the digitalization of production processes.
