My number for Germany comes from https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/gehalt/gross_net_calculator_germany.php https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/gehalt/gross_net_calcu... & includes Solidaritätszuschlag & health insurance. But it depends on state and stuff like church taxes (optional, you can declare being atheist & pay none) plus other things like marital status, tax classes, which public health insurance you choose, etc. And the end of the day you pay similar taxes on income in Germany as you do in a high-tax US states like California.
