High taxes? I pay 21%, but for that amount I get benefits that are worth many times more than that sum! And I contribute towards everybody else getting them, too. That's part of how you build and maintain a fair, stable and well-run society where the citizens can enjoy a typical Nordic welfare state of trust and without fear.
I just came from a comment where another Finn clarified this issue. He (I presume) said you need to adjust your estimated annual earnings or else you will pay up to 40.2% and a lot of people really forget to make that adjustment whenever their annual earnings change.
It really depends on your tax bracket, but from a US perspective, Finnish tax rates are high at every level. (In both cases, brackets are for the value in excess of the previous bracket) The US tax bracket are 10% up to $11k, 12% up to $45k, 22% up to $95k, ... Finnish tax brackets are 12% up to 20k, 19% up to 30k, 30% up to 50k, 34% up to 88k, ... For the higher rate, you get substantial services, more than you would in the US, and they're probably worth the extra tax if you're not making too much money. I'm pretty successful, and my tax rate in Finland would be over 40%. The extra services provided aren't even close to worth the extra tax. A lot of people are happy to support the social system and society that they live in, but you're also liable to see some brain drain of top performers.
@@ldnjal 👩🏻🌾🇫🇮💶💶💶 Hello, there! Thank you for your comment. It was a good try, considering the space we have at our disposal here. A taxation system is always complicated with lots of detailed circumstances affecting the amount of the taxes actually payable by each taxpayer. You estimate that your annual earnings are high enough so that you would pay more than 40% in taxes here in Finland. It's not that simple. To begin with, the tax authorities automatically reduce the initial sum of your annual earnings by a hefty percentage and your taxes are calculated on this reduced amount - and on any other deductions like loans (home purchasing loans are very common) that you may have. A reduced capacity to pay taxes is also considered. As a matter of fact, I think that nobody ends up paying the initial amount. You say that your tax rate in Finland would be over 40% (please see what I wrote regarding that above.) And you continue saying that "the extra services provided aren't even close to worth the extra tax. A lot of people are happy to support the social system and society that they live in..." I have a couple of comments to that. You're absolutely right in that we are happy to pay our taxes, as are the other Nordic welfare states to a high degree. The benefits of living in such a state are obvious. Please see my previous comment. This feeling of responsibility for the health of the society as a whole exemplifies the saying that you can measure the maturity and wellbeing of a society by how it treats its weakest members. On the subject of "the extra services provided aren't even close to worth the extra tax", well, that would depend on what services you would need. If you're wealthy enough to be able to afford private health care for an extended time, or for extremely costly surgery, drugs etc., then you don't need public health care. However, I doubt that, for instance, your health insurance premiums would be higher than the actual costs of an extended stay at a hospital, several operations, lots of testing, scans and expensive medicines, special diets, special treatments, rehabilitation, followups and so on. All actual costs that you will not be paying for. Your share would consist of a small sum for each day that you occupy a bed. That's all. It's perhaps worth calculating how much all this and more would cost you in private care, not to mention in the U.S. Two real-life examples: A good friend of mine, 81, has a by now receding cancer for which for years she received a special tablet against cancer. The pill costs some 3,000 euros a pop. She paid zero. Myself, I fairly recently was taken to the ER of our main hospital in the middle of the night, was emergency operated on, survived, stayed at the hospital for around a week, monitored, treated etc. Total cost some 400 to 500 euros + 25 euros, deductible for ambulance. That's it. My annual health insurance premium included in my taxes is 488.88 euros. The automatic reduction of my annual salary😮 (pension) of 35,632.92 euros is 2,606.25, leaving 33,026,67 on which my tax is calculated. There are some other points in the paper I received informing me of upcoming changes, but they are irrelevant here.
I guess Finland is great for the lower and middle class, and for a great education in general ( public schools suck in the US), or for students wanting to get an advanced degree and not have a six figure debt, or if you get a life threatening illness and your private insurance decides to not pay… the US certainly is not as easy to climb up to the upper class the way it used to be. Overall, the standard of living and security of food and shelter regardless of your health and ability to work …no comparison. It’s a lot riskier these days to live in the US.
I believe when the people mention the high taxes. They dont only mean income tax. They also include the consumption tax (+25%alv) that is included in almost every product. They are not wrong because it is after all coming off of our pocket after income-tax.
The pros in the video are generally correct, but the cons are described with a bias, and in general a bit misleading. If you learn Finnish to even a mediocre level, no more, every impression of Finland changes. Similar is true of every other country. It is a very imperial attitude to arrive in a country and expect to thrive in languages that are foregn to the locals. Finland in itself is historically and traditionally a multifasetted, multicultural, multilingual country, with a large group of Swedish-speakers (speaking many dialects among them), a large enough group of Sámi people, a substantial group of Karelians, and also not so few immigrants from Russia, Germany, all of Europe, and among them the Baltic countries. You can notice these influences in not only place and family names rooted in genuine Finnish, but so many others; you might notice: Brahe, Rosenlew, Serlachius, Sinebrychoff, Fazer, Rotkirch, Svinhufvud, Finlayson, Sibelius, Sonck, Jansson, Långbacka, and hundreds of others. In more recent years there has come immigrants, students, and refugees from all over the world. In general Finns are not prejudiced about looks, but rather relaxed and open, fun-loving, generous, and very industrious. And Finns are rather content with the taxes, feminism, masses of rules and all, so though free to move practically anywhere on the globe, Finns are generally not keen to emigrate. But as no surprise to thinking foreigners: in Finland, understanding and speaking Finnish is the key, so don't expect Finns to open up in English on the spot. OnIy if you know the Finnish language you can rapidly learn to know the Finns as they are. If you are a foreigner, do try to speak Finnish in the very first contact. Finns immediately hear that you struggle, and as being a very helpful lot, then they may volunteer to help you out, sharing the struggle, by their struggling with English themselves. It creates a level playing field. Finnish is namely easy for you to pronounce, but all foreign languages are difficult for Finns to pronounce. Why? - Because *almost* all Finnish sounds are represented in the world's main languages, but not the other way around. When you come to Finland for more than a weeks vacation, at least learn the Finnish alphabet, so that you can pronounce any written word. The formerly high suicide rates were a heritage from the five devastating years of war (Finland's war of defence against Soviet Union, during Word War 2) and the harsh years (about 10-20) after the war, when Finland paid back every penny the country had in debts to those who had lended money for Finland's defence, like Great Britain (thank you!). Then the rebuilding of Finland was expensive, too. The accomodation of the refugees from the East of Finland, the part that the Soviet Union occupied/took, was a difficult task. The Soviet army had bombed Finland to trash, but not to submission. Housing was therefore a huge problem, families of six were happy to find even one room without conveniences to survive in. Families lived years in saunas and the simplest shelters. The financing of mental health initiative really wasn't prioritized, and that was one of the mistakes made, i.e. not taking care of the veterans and the wounded, if from battle or from bombs dropped over civilian targets. The war-time efforts and the subsequent rebuilding also strained Finns to exhaustion. I think it is hard for people from abroad to understand how tough it was. But I'm very worried about Ukrainians and Palestinians and others in today's world. Finns in their 80's and 90's still have unhealed trauma and their families have suffered as the next generations. But, improvement is on its way, now as a first adult generation of Finns, has at last grown up with parents and grand-parents who have never experienced on-going war themselves, which improves the mental conditions a lot. And remarkably Finland's mental status is average in Europe nowadays, despite the winters.
Wow thanks for the explanation. Can i ask you, im planning to move there from Indonesia, my english is pretty average. How hard is it to learn Finnish langguage??? Also do you need a certification for it? Like Japanese, and chinese.
Your explination of finnish mental health and suiside rates are the first of a kind, that I buy totally! It is very logical explination, how the harsh war years in 1939-1944 moulded our nation for generations. Altogether I truly enjoyed reading your profound explination. And I must say, that I have shared for quite some time the same fear and sadness for Ukrainians and all other nations, who have to go through that inferno, once again, that affects the nation for many generations to come! 😰
Hello from America. Thank you for your explanation to clarify the misunderstanding. Finland is a beautiful country. I watched many videos about Finland. Also, Finland is ranked as the happiest country. It must be earned for a reason. I hope I can visit your beautiful country someday.

My wife and I been to Finland twice 14 days each time. My daughter lives there and it is a wonderful country. High taxes? Really? Look at what u get. We didn't find food there expensive. Food was fresher and delicious. I found people friendly and respectful. Everyone will have a different experience but we loved it. When we returned to the US the noise of an over commercialized country was shocking.

It sounds perfect for me. New friendships tend to try and move too fast for me and the discomfort builds and it fizzles out. At least I know the other person is comfortable enough to race the friendship though.
Finland's suicide rates have gone drastically down in 30 years. We don't live in the 1950's anymore. Watch the statistics in the video "Comparison Suicide rates by countries/ country suicide rate comparison." 62 highest suicide countries and Finland is not even mentioned. Ot of the other Nordic countries Iceland and Denmark are mentioned before Finland. The highest suicide countries are: The 1st RUSSIA. The 2nd South Korea. The 3rd Kazakstan it the 4th Ukraine and the 5 th Japan. By the way the other Nordic countries have the same climate like in Finland.
As a Finn I pay 0.5% tax this year, I think that´s quite low, What do you think? About 80% of this video was B-roll not from Finland. And living here is not expensive I pay rent 600/month and my food cost is about 250€ per month when I prepare healthy meals my self, it takes about 3 to 4 hour a week. And if you live in a city is public transport fairly cheap and accessible. Last time a police officer was killed in duty, if I recall right was 2016 and year 2022 there was 279 violent or suspicious death cases, this number includes shootings, stabbings, DUI traffic accidents where people lost their lives and drug related deaths etc. Safe country, I´ll pay any tax the government determines.

Great quality of life, not too much rich or poor people, but we are more equal in this aspect, than people in most countries = less striction in the society 4. Beautiful nature with four seasons! Right now enjoying the sparkling white cover, that gives a TRUE, DREAMY LIKE Christmas feeling! ❄️✨️🥰 Hopefully it stays for Christmas! 5. High quality in finnish products + technology 6. Innovative society with lots of high technical competence 7. Warm and cozy homes and windows with 2 or 3 glasses, No matter is it +10 or -10 outside, always nice and enjoyable to be home. 8. So beautiful nature and in cities so many interesting cafes, bars, market halls, culture houses, museums, wonderful swimming halls (some ofthem almost like spas!), libaries, skating rings, ready made ski tracks also in city parks and forests, in summertime wonderful fittness paths for all in nature areas, always within max 10-15 min walk from your home - - millions of things to do outside and inside! 9. Very thoughtful people, not wanting lots of presents from Santa or fortune for themselves, but more wanting for all peace and happiness in their lives! 10. The beautiful girls - and boys, too! 😍❤️🇫🇮
Coming to Finland as a legal immigrant (likewise me) is a waste of time. Finland is the best place for illegal immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers etc.
Finland has created a fake image of having best educational system, happiness, etc. However, in reality (from perspective of foreigner), that image is unreal. The problem with Finland is marginalization of foreigners. Here, they want you to work in a low rank jobs and nothing else.
migrants of different cultures are not the problem, people are never the problem. instead, the rest of europe should imitate finland's government, not just stop people from immigrating.
@@reaperskeepers Indeed, the bad conditions that people try to escape, these are the circumstances to improve, so that emigration woud not be an option. Every immigrant has emigrated, not being happy in their country of origin in the first place. That's the root of the problems.
Depends on your family background as in many countries. Did your parents give love, secure enviroment to grow up and do things with you? Or the opposite? And it depends on your own mental health issues and how you have learned to deal with them. As well as your parents mental health. And then differing from many other countries, it depends on your own choices. In Finland all healthy people have a vast variety of choices, what you want to learn or do. In the end it is you, who makes the decision, hard way = taking care of your school work, studying (to make it, you don't need to study really hard, as in many other countries!). Or do you choose the easy and lazy way of life! Even THAT is an option in Finland for us, but it truly is not the most enjoyable life or happiest way to spend your one and only journey here on planet earth. Finland is a wonderful country for hard working, honest and good-hearted people! ❤🇫🇮🤗

So beautiful nature and in cities so many interesting cafes, bars, market halls, culture houses, museums, wonderful swimming halls (some ofthem almost like spas!), libaries, skating rings, ready made ski tracks also in city parks and forests, in summertime wonderful fittness paths for all in nature areas, always within max 10-15 min walk from your home - - millions of things to do outside and inside!

10. The beautiful girls - and boys, too!

nice
Coming to Finland as a legal immigrant (likewise me) is a waste of time. Finland is the best place for illegal immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers etc.
Finland has created a fake image of having best educational system, happiness, etc. However, in reality (from perspective of foreigner), that image is unreal. The problem with Finland is marginalization of foreigners. Here, they want you to work in a low rank jobs and nothing else.
Thanks.
Do not come to Finland to find community. You are alone a along time. But you can live well alone.
Lots of antidepressant drugs.
No immigration
WeNeedThisInWholeEUROPE ! NO MigrantsOfDIFFERENT Culture !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
migrants of different cultures are not the problem, people are never the problem. instead, the rest of europe should imitate finland's government, not just stop people from immigrating.
@@reaperskeepers Indeed, the bad conditions that people try to escape, these are the circumstances to improve, so that emigration woud not be an option. Every immigrant has emigrated, not being happy in their country of origin in the first place. That's the root of the problems.
whats up with the masks on the staues ewwww
Finland is shit. That is the truth. So much daily pressure
Not true.
Depends on your family background as in many countries.
Did your parents give love, secure enviroment to grow up and do things with you? Or the opposite?
And it depends on your own mental health issues and how you have learned to deal with them. As well as your parents mental health.
And then differing from many other countries, it depends on your own choices.
In Finland all healthy people have a vast variety of choices, what you want to learn or do.
In the end it is you, who makes the decision, hard way = taking care of your school work, studying (to make it, you don't need to study really hard, as in many other countries!).
Or do you choose the easy and lazy way of life! Even THAT is an option in Finland for us, but it truly is not the most enjoyable life or happiest way to spend your one and only journey here on planet earth.
Finland is a wonderful country for hard working, honest and good-hearted people! ❤🇫🇮🤗
