> how much of your income is “taxed”? Generally all income is taxed. I think the personal deductible is around ~10k USD. -- That's not meant to ask, but it's what you asked :) Taking all taxes deductibles etc. then all in all I think I pay around ~48% of my income in taxes. Note. that lower income means less taxes too. When I lived in SF it was around 38% (I think). Not that much considering cost of healthcare wasn't covered through taxes in the US. None of this includes sales tax or VAT, just income.
