Grade G5 at the European Space Agency in the Netherlands pays from EUR 4,230 a month, net.
No. European Space Agency sets grade G5 separately for each duty station, and publishes each country's scale in that country's own currency, so the figures are not a single range. The table on this page states each one as published.
The figures on this page are quoted net, per month, in EUR.
These figures come from the European Space Agency scale for effective 1 January 2026, as published by the European Space Agency. We last read that source and confirmed these figures on 20 August 2026.
ESA employs no G-grade staff in the United States, so those cells are empty rather than filled from another country. Staff receive twelve months' salary a year — there is no thirteenth month — so the annual figure is simply twelve times the number shown.
The European Space Agency is one of the six Co-ordinated Organisations, which adjust pay by a shared method rather than a shared scale — so grade G5 here has no counterpart at another of the six. How Co-ordinated Organisation pay works.
This is not a UN common-system salary. The European Space Agency sets its own pay, so there is no post adjustment and no ICSC scale behind this grade — it cannot be compared with a P-4 or a GS-6 without accounting for the difference in basis.
