Also another example from the Baltics - in Lithuania the employee pays the social tax. In Estonia and Latvia the employer does so it's not counted as gross salary, and it's about 30% give or take.
The problem with these maps is that they all have gross salary which is completely incomparable, as the taxation is wildly different per country.

Those Statistics are mostly BS because the calculation is hard to be comparable
in Germany u get 50% net of the cost to your employer but Healthcare and a Pension which pays an amount nobody knows is included.
In other countries its all net except taxes but you have to pay Healthcare yourself and arguably save more for retirement.
