But I believe your employer pays an amount equal to about 20% of your gross income as pension fund payments. I don't know if USA has similar "hidden" costs which makes direct comparison of grass salary difficult.
- kristofferR 12y agoThe maximum payroll tax in Norway is 14.1%. From a quick google it seems like the rates are about the same in the US: "making the total Social Security tax 12.4% of wages and the total Medicare tax 2.9%." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Insurance_Contributions_Act_tax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Insurance_Contributions...
