Germany has a median household disposable income after taxes and transfers and adjusted for PPP of $31,323 (2018) and thes same stat for the US is $42,800 (2019), which is ~37% higher [1]. The OECD, which is Wikipedia's source, defines this stat as: "Household adjusted disposable income includes income from economic activity (wages and salaries; profits of self-employed business owners), property income (dividends, interests and rents), social benefits in cash (retirement pensions, unemployment benefits, family allowances, basic income support, etc.), and social transfers in kind (goods and services such as health care, education and housing, received either free of charge or at reduced prices)." The OP site uses a different statistic that does have the inaccuracies you described, but it correlates fairly well with the more representative statistic described above.
