You're looking at 80k+ easily, so that's atleast around 4200 or 4300 netto a month which you'll be comfortable with. And yes the market is really hot right now!

What is "netto"?
- fliggertigibet 5y ago
  Netto is net. Basically after tax and social payment deductions

    I was wondering if it were some kind of slang based on the supermarket... (in my company we describe everything in terms of how many cheeseburgers from a specific restaurant we can buy with the money)

Seems low for a senior in Berlin. I pay close to that amount in Romania. Edit: NVM, netto - got it - it's allright.

that sounds about right. but if you're not married, you're more likely to get to ~3,800€ a month after taxes and social security contributions, which comes in at ~42% combined.

Is this in USD?

  EUR. My current company pays around 70-90k for SSE, but we have levels for individual contributors above Senior - Staff and Principal. The salaries for them can go up to 140k .

>You're looking at 80k+ easily, so that's atleast around 4200 or 4300 netto so 50k? what's the point of giving salaries not in netto? it just makes it harder to compare
- mikelward 5y ago
  I'm not familiar with German job listings, but in the US, listing are "gross" (or "brutto" for German speakers). Providing the gross amount could make it easier to compare internationally. (Perhaps it would be even better to list net salaries everywhere, but taxes can vary by person, so that's not always possible.)

      A single American earning 100k gross would only pay about 13k in taxes. Less if you’re maxing 401(k). In America taxes are quite low until you’re in the top brackets.

        No this is incorrect. If you're in CA, you are looking at a tax burden of roughly 30% if you're making 100k.

        Well yeah, California has by far the highest state income tax. And I’m guessing some of the bigger cities have city tax as well. But in a state like TN or FL that don’t have that burden, it’s far less. Just for my main FTE in TN for 2020, I paid 12.5k on 150k (I also have 3 kids, so there is some tax credit there).
