Wow, you pay this much tax and probably don't even get national healthcare.

Wow, you pay this much tax and probably don't even get national healthcare.
- rayiner 10mo agoIf you make $200,000 as a single person in CA, you pay about 35% total of income in taxes. https://www.adp.com/resources/tools/calculators/salary-paycheck-calculator.aspx https://www.adp.com/resources/tools/calculators/salary-paych... In Ontario, it would be about 38%, and that’d include healthcare. Canada is very efficient though. At least a decade ago, Canada’s non-defense spending per person was less than the US’s. In Germany it would be about 44% total. Of course, in Germany, $200k is a top 2% income. In California it’s only a top 8% income.
- systemtest 10mo agoDoes your Germany figure include healthcare and church tax? That could push it over 50%. Though church tax is optional and you can go private for healthcare.
- rayiner 10mo agoYes to healthcare, and no to Church tax: https://salaryaftertax.com/de/salary-calculator https://salaryaftertax.com/de/salary-calculator
- ifyoubuildit 10mo ago> you pay about 35% total of income in taxes. That's what's directly taken out of your check right? But how much more do you pay after that in other taxes? And if you go even further, how much higher are the prices of everything that you purchase due to the various taxes involved in their production?
- rayiner 10mo agoOther major taxes are property taxes and sales taxes, which exist in other countries too and aren’t included in the calculation above.
- immibis 10mo agoWhat about health insurance and rent?
- senordevnyc 10mo agoYou pay sales tax, but it's less than VAT. You also pay property taxes if you own your home, but I'm guessing that's true in most places too.
