Guys, most if not ALL of the salaries in ppjn and in Europe in general are expressed in NET terms. If you ask a european how much he/she makes, they will tell you their NET salary (because of the high taxation). So when you read ppjn, keep in mind MOST of those amounts are NET!

A Lusthansa captain I know makes around 17,000 EUROs/month...NET that is. Do the math, it's almost $400k gross/year. Also, several european countries pay 13 and even 14 months per year (basically you get double salary in December and in some cases June, so in those countries you'd have to multiply the monthly salary accordingly).
These discussions are pointless unless you compare the cost of living. The Euro/Dollar exchange at 1.3 makes it look more than it really is. Having said that, he lives quite comfortably on that pay

Maybe I can get a job their now. Plus, as I said, comparing salaries is pointless without comparing purchasing power. What may seem like a lot of money really doesn't buy you much when living in places with costs of living higher than San Francisco or New York.

You guys have no clue here... They dont pay 50% tax of their salary. They might pay as much as 50% on parts of their salary (after it increases above an amout) but the total tax paid is below what you say.

Some Eastern European nations have double digits but I assume we are all referring to western European countries. Didn't see double digits for those. But I've overlooked things before.
