That's amazing. In Denmark it's closer to 25% if you don't count severances.

  we may be comparing different numbers. i doubt it's that low. i don't know the specifics in germany, but there is net salary and gross salary, and there are employer contributions beyond gross salary, as well as other costs. my understanding is that put everything together, the cost per employee is twice the gross salary. this includes cost for equipment, work space and whatever else you need to spend money on to help an employee to do their job. 25% seems very low. it's possibly only the taxes and insurance and related contributions. or maybe denmark calculates the gross salary different? i searched a few resources and found references ranging from 1.5 to 1.7. so not quite 100%. here is a swiss example with a compact table. https://www.runmyaccounts.ch/2013/07/wie-viel-kostet-ein-mitarbeiter-wirklich/ https://www.runmyaccounts.ch/2013/07/wie-viel-kostet-ein-mit... this one suggests a cost of 6900 for a 4500 gross salary. but it also adds hiring a manager per 10 employees and splitting that up among the employees being managed, bringing the cost to 8285. so yeah, it depends on what numbers we are actually comparing
