What is the Average Software Developer Salary: the USA vs Eastern Europe, Trustshoring (Victor Purolnik), 2025

📌 It’s not a surprise that the number one position in the rating of the highest software developer salary goes to the United States (Avr. base salary – $106,816/year).

📌 Programmers in Switzerland, Israel, Denmark, and Norway are also lucky to be among the top five best-paid specialists in the world. Talented developers are in high demand in those countries, leading to high rates and a long and tedious process of finding and hiring a developer in-house.

📌 The average salaries of developers in Eastern Europe vary from $25,958 to $41,170 a year. At the same time, salaries in the US and other well-developed countries are around $68,543. Of course, there are outliers for very senior candidates everywhere.

📌 If we look at the cost of living, there is a big difference between healthcare, property (rental/buying), and food prices between the US and Poland for example. The same is true for taxes. They have a really big influence on the net salary a developer actually receives.
