It's quite similar to the Australian system. The most prestigious, hard -to-get award with ~10% success rate, which took me two months to write last time (I was rejected) awards on average AUSD 400k over 3 years. That's a Discovery Project from the Australian Research Council.
A postdoc with overheads (postdocs make decent salary of around 100k + overheads similar to OP) budgets at about 150k per year. So with the most prestigious, biggest award the non-human researchers can get, you can barely fund one guy for 3 years. There is an ongoing exodus because this is insanity.
