Why does that happen? If you check your balance you can clearly see your net wage, right?

  It can differ by principality / state. Personally, I live in New Jersey and work in New York City, so I have to pay income taxes to TWO states, whereas my best friend in Florida doesn't pay any income tax at all. It's subjective and skews numbers, also you can't negotiate after-tax pay with your employer.

  yes and no. Some just don't check their balance as they don't care about 100 or 150 euros a month. what makes it a bit more complicated too (not complete, i am sure there are other reasons as well): we get paid at least 14 times a year, where the non-monthly payouts have a completely different taxing. my father working for a bank gets paid 16 times a year plus a bonus once or twice a year. also, once you have paid a certain amount for your social security, you don't pay it at all anymore, skewing your net wage. it might be that the employer miscalculated your net wage and you might have to pay the IRS at the end of the year (or if you are lucky, you get money back)

    I see, thanks, I wasn't thinking about all those complex cases. :)
