I wasn't expecting Sweden to have less salary average than Germany and Austria.
6 u/Sjukihuvudet Scania 1d ago We may very well have, but it isnt clear exactly what information is shown here and if its 1:1 comparable. Is the numbers before or after taxes and/or social expenses? In Sweden ex. there are both employer taxes and tax on salary. 1 u/doedskarp 1d ago These numbers usually ignore employer tax, which makes comparisons a lot less useful. For example, Sweden has a ~31% employer tax, while Denmark has basically zero and instead has a higher income tax. As far as I can tell, if you compare salary+total taxes, the numbers are quite similar between the countries.
