According to [1] if you make 400k a year your employer has to pay 413k in total [1] https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/gehalt/gehaltsrechner-arbeitgeber.php

  no engineer makes 400k a year in Germany. This is not the US, sadly.

  Yes, if you get 400k gross, your employer has to pay 413k, but you only get 221k net after deduction of taxes and obligatory insurances (according to that very same calculator).

  I assume they mean 400k net, if the employer pays 413k you only get 206k after tax. While the tax burden seems huge in this case, it's not that different in the US, though. For example you'd get around 225k in California (with no deductions).

  "net" is the keyword here.

    sure, but that's an unfair comparison then, when people say they make 400k they mean before taxes
