ANDRIUS PETKUS

Salaries for junior developers in Malta normally start at 20-22k gross/year.

Senior is more difficult to define but typically the minimum is 40k.

Globally, developer salaries vary drastically; they usually depend on the country’s cost of living and tax structure. For example, in Silicon Valley (San Francisco, CA) a junior developer is expected to earn at least $70k-80k gross/year, but different entry and living standards then apply.
