Porsche has disclosed its official salary details for the first time, revealing that nearly 40% of its workforce earns a six-figure income.
The disclosure came after a shareholder question at the company's annual general meeting.

The automaker employs 23,000 people, and 9,082 of them had a taxable gross income above €100,000 ($114,200) in 2025.
That places these employees in the top 10% of all workers in Germany, nearly double the national average gross salary of €54,066 ($61,700), including bonuses.
Top Earners and Executive Pay
Moving up the ladder, 201 Porsche employees earned over €300,000 ($342,500) in 2025, and 28 of those exceeded €500,000 ($570,700).
Only three staff members belong to the seven-figure club, drawing over €1 million ($1,141,600) a year.
These figures cover management tiers below the executive board, meaning the actual ceiling is higher.
Former Porsche CEO Oliver Blume received a compensation package worth €1.90 million ($2.17 million) in 2025, his final year with the brand.
He was also running Volkswagen at the time, so his total earnings were higher.
