That‘s different from the US how exactly? $800k/year in San Francisco as a single is $436k/year net. In Germany that’s $431k/year net. You should argue with lower (more realistic) salaries. Social insurance (including health insurance, pension) is capped, meaning if you earn above a certain level you won’t have to pay any more. This means that those aspects play a diminutive role (about $15k) at your named salary level.
