Health insurance is also really expensive as an employee, but people dont notice because half of the cost is completely hidden for them ("paid" by the employer) and the other half also never reaches their bank account but is on listed in the monthly payroll notification.
- nicbou 6y agoDepends on where you live. Note the currency used.
- seppel 6y agoI was talking about Germany.
- BrandoElFollito 6y agoYes but all the other deductions are expensive as well (retirement, death insurance etc.). Why specifically pointing out the health insurance part? It is as compulsory as the others.
- seppel 6y agoDeath insurance is not compulsory and I'm not sure why the OP pointed out health insurance. I was just pointing out that it is expensive, independent whether you are self-employed or not.
