p50 is the midpoint of the source's published span; the span endpoints are stored as p25 and p75 and are wider than quartiles. Greek public school leadership, statutory basic gross monthly pay as of 1 April 2024 per esos.gr (education sector portal reproducing the unified payroll tables): school principals (didaskaloi-diefthintes) 1630 to 2460 EUR basic plus a school-leadership allowance of 330 to 450 EUR, and directors of education 1740 to 2580 EUR basic plus a special allowance of 700 EUR; the SPAN endpoints take the lowest principal basic and the highest director-of-education basic, excluding allowances. Basis: monthly gross basic (vasikos misthos, mikta). Figures predate the April 2025 and April 2026 increases (the unified payroll rose by 70 EUR in 2025 and a further 40 EUR in 2026), so current statutory amounts are somewhat higher; 14 payments per year is the public-sector convention.

Statutory public-sector teacher pay: bracket MK10 of the university-education (PE) ladder of the unified payroll, 1763 EUR per month basic gross, effective 1 April 2026 (the edyp.gr page notes that bracket placement depends on years of prior service and postgraduate degrees, so MK10 represents a mid-to-late-career teacher).
