Self-referencing my post in another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20695115 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20695115 Summary: - €5160/month is the German 90-percentile monthly net household income - The US 90-percentile monthly household net is probably around $9k - $10k - Major contributors to the differences in the gross are in my guesstimate (1) overvalued USD, (2) more hours worked in the US - differences in the net are clearly mostly due to different taxation/collective spending
