I'm from Vienna, I would say it's quite average. To calculate taxes and to put it into perspective you can use this online-calculator of the federal ministry of finance: http://www.bmf.gv.at/service/anwend/steuerberech/bruttonetto/_start.htm http://www.bmf.gv.at/service/anwend/steuerberech/bruttonetto... Comparing salaries in europe is quite difficult, in Austria, for 45,000 €, your employer have to pay about 14,000 € taxes additionally which you don't see on your pay slip, so the employer is spending in your case about 60,000 €. And you have 25 holidays a year and lots of public holidays http://english.bmf.gv.at/Ministry/PublicHolidaysinAustria.htm http://english.bmf.gv.at/Ministry/PublicHolidaysinAustria.ht... ;-)
