Editorial Process
Every figure on PlainGlobalPay traces back to a named public source, computed by documented pipelines. PlainGlobalPay publishes under one organizational byline rather than personal ones: the publisher is accountable for the data framing, methodology, and corrections you read here.

Every figure published on PlainGlobalPay, spanning 3,306 take-home pay scenarios across 38 OECD countries from the OECD Taxing Wages (2025 data) dataset, is traced back to its official public source and computed by deterministic pipelines, not hand-entered. Our methodology sets out exactly how each dataset is sourced, computed, and refreshed, and the about page explains how we handle corrections when a reader flags something. The byline below is the publishing organization itself, not an individual writer: these pages are generated from documented pipelines rather than individually reported, so accountability for the framing and for correcting it sits with the publisher.
