The present research aims to reveal the characteristics of the gender pay gap phenomenon in domestic external trade in goods as a gap-filling analysis. Relying on the data between 2019 and 2022, we point out that the basic international trends can also be observed in the case of companies involved in domestic external trade in goods, i.e. with the increase in the size of the company and the higher the position, the gender wage gap clearly increases. The presence of the glass ceiling can also be easily identified in the case of entities dealing with external trade in goods, so female managers are typically pushed out of the management of companies with more than 50 employees. However, when examining the results side, companies managed by men contribute to the development of the external trade in goods turnover in Hungary with an average of five times greater per capita import performance and almost eight times greater per capita export performance, i.e. between the average income of women and men in the field of external trade in goods, as well as their contribution to external trade in goods a positive relationship can be identified.
