I have the same question about Canada.
- stu2b50 6y agoCanada is even more puzzling. You can cross the border from Vancouver to Seattle and triple your salary, pay less in income taxes, and live in a city with less rent. All over less than 100 miles.
- umvi 6y agoHow much of the Canadian salary is taken in taxes?
- nexus2045 6y agoFor me (in BC), around 25-30% and I'm slightly below 100k. The deduction is usually a little more than if you use those online tax calculators.
- theflyinghorse 6y agoFor me ends up being 28%-ish percent if my math is correct. Ether way 25-30% is a good ballpark
- ttul 6y agoI suppose that people really value being in Canada.
- theflyinghorse 6y agoSome of us do, but I think majority would hop on an airplane at a drop of a hat. Indeed, if it weren't for pandemic I myself would be looking to move to the US. Staying in Canada is very hard to justify for a software dev.
- brianwawok 6y agoIt is weird, right? Same time zone as the US, so you can't use the argument "Europe has easier access to eastern European / Indian developers in the proper time zone"... I don't think this happens across all trades either. Last I looked, a mechanic would make similar money in either country.
