Yeah, it is very rough: a) 45k has not been the average for the years leading up to 2013. b) 45k is pre tax, 33k is post tax. c) I suspect that SO is used more frequently by people on the lower rungs of the pay scale. d) The average for "developer" (which is the biggest group in the stats) is 40k. As a side note, wow 45k is a massive number. http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/developer.do http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/developer.do
