After working in Germany for several years in different cities and PhD in STEM, I can tell you that salaries are not that high as people imagine. After considering expensive rents and high tax, your disposable income isn't much. The benefits come from social benefits, usually nice working hours, paid holidays, healthcare, great cheap alcohol and peaceful country. If you seek making a lot of money, Germany isn't your country. In Europe you probably have look north for higher salaries and Switzerland, in Asia, some highly developed countries like Singapore. If you have a high level of education and work for a good company in the USA and even sometimes in Latin America, are better places to make great money. But hey money isn't everything, you need to evaluate pros- and cons.
In Latin America? Hell no man
Latin America? Run from this continent. If someone is reading this, is not FUCKING TRUE. RUUUUUN!
@@danielrobles2586 if you're a skilled foreigner you can make a lot of money
@@princesskanu youre from there? xD
@@princesskanu that's your personal experience. Don't tell people what to do
Canada: 10 days holiday per year.
normal working hours per week is 44.
if u get sick u don't get paid
no bonus of any kind.
minimum wage 14$ ( approximately 8 euro)
just in case anyone is thinking to move to Toronto area.
@hel norse such a BS comment ... I am from Toronto, but Berlin is sooooooo much better place ... I love East Germans too ...
@hel norse More importantly you don’t need to learn German!
Turkey: No holiday at all, not even weekends if you are working in a minimum wage job.
normal working hours 52,5
if you cut your arm in a industry machine, you can go to the hospital after work hours done and should return after that day to work.
no bonus
minimum wage 1,85 euro for an hour
be fcking grateful for your country my dear friend :) cause we are literally dying here
kind regards,
And to buy a home in Toronto? Your entire soul won't cover it
I moved from Germany and Canada and love it. While all you say it's true, no sick leave, 10 days vacation, everything is minimum double the price in Canada, but Canadians are super amazing people.
It is way more relaxing in Canada than anywhere in Germany. Would never go back.
From the US here and about to start my first job out of college in Germany. I’m going there for the quality of life, I don’t care that I can make more here - if I die tomorrow the extra savings means nothing, but a strong welfare/healthcare system, fewer stupid people, better infrastructure, lower crime rates, better work culture, decent politicians, beautiful nature and architecture, etc. will have made me enjoy my life every day. I want that peace of mind and I can’t get that here. Everything is fundamentally messed up here and nothing will change in a meaningful way anytime soon
Don’t get too optimistic man. The US is a whole lot better than you think. If you leave thinking everything will be better, it will just mentally fuck you.
Sincerely, an American expat.
Man, I have been to the U.S. a couple times and I can tell you that the real life standards are there. I don´t want to be mean or discourage you from coming to Germany but none of the points you mentioned are better in Germany. Maybe just the lower crime rates, but these have increased in the last time, just that politicians and police are covering them constantly. Nevertheless, I think you should give it a try and see it and live it for yourself, just don´t expect too much. But seriously as someone who lives in Germany since 2010, I don´t get how this country gets such a reputation worldwide.
As an American working in corporate America….I respect all your points, I congratulate you on your new job and wish you much success in Germany!
Plus, IF you are not happy…you are young enough to find out and reroute your geographic and career trajectory. So I say….go for it! Working in another country is impressive on resumes and good life experience. :)
Well said…
How much you are making now??? ,,Enough,, 😂😂😂👍
I'm from Germany, and I reeeallly don't understand why you wouldn't talk about it?
Yes, you don't have to say it if you're absolutely poor or get Jobless money (idk what it called in englisch) or if you are very Rich. But if you're average in economic stance, that's okay
@@toastertag7536 how much you are making now ? And which domain
Im a machining mechanic in the prototype field and make about 5000€ a month depending on how many nightshifts i do
If you get above the average not a big deal, but if you earn below dou it's enough.
@@toastertag7536 in english it is called jobseeker allowance. Already the name itself tells you about a fundamentally different approach; jobless oooh poor lad, jobseeker and get your ass out of the way...
“Hope no Japanese are watching... they only get 10 (vacation) days a year”
* laughs in American *
*laughs in Mexican* by law the first year you get only 6 days lmao
@@coldplay109 *laughs even harder in American*
Most places only offer 5 days of paid vacation after a year of full-time employment. But that's calculated by hours worked, not start date, so you can end up with 4-4.5 days of vacation time. That's if you're full time, if you work less than 40 hours you get no paid vacation.
Insurance? Lol! If you're rich maybe. How's $500usd per month(412euro)(10,000mex peso) in your 20s sound? Not terrible? Well what about when you're 50? Try about 1500-1800USD per month (1490 Euro)(36,000 Mex peso). That doesnt include additional cost like having to pay out of pocket to meet a $10,000usd deductible before insurance pays for anything, and most of those plans don't cover things like doctors visits, if they do it's typically one per year. Like I said, you better have found success because otherwise you won't have insurance.
Maternity/Paternity leave? I don't....I don't even know what those are, you'll have to talk to literally almost any other country on Earth, we don't have time for that. If you're lucky you get 14 days paid, some places will do 14 paid 16 unpaid, almost no where gives more than 30 total paid/unpaid combined. And that's for the mother, father's are lucky if they get a week, most of the time it's out of accumulated vacation time.
And we still have a tax rate of 24% on incomes at $30,000usd, which increases in steps to about 38% when making $120,000-150,000.
It's a fantastic setup if you make about 150,000usd a year you'll be fine, poverty line is officially $22,000 per year, but we have plenty of jobs that pay $20,000 a year. So you can work full time and still be in the hole. Anything less than $40,000 is going to suck. And that's if you live somewhere cheap
You beat me to it...this is exactly what I was thinking when he said that haha
I work for an american company but base in asia. Leave is 10 days for a year but I never used all of it anyway.
@@darkstar0000000000 gues why near Soviet Union was more payed vacation days
I love how the quick shots are organized randomly but not : )
I'm born in Germany and worked my whole life. maintenance side/ cleaning. Each I earned around 1k. I worked as well in a personal leasing business where I worked more than 8 hours the day and shift work just 1k the month. I was self-employed too and because of taxes, health insurance etc. I was forced to quit my business and fire my 4 workers and go into insolvency. That is the true face of the German government and tax. People are struggling with their wages to pay all bills and still have a life.
What?
Its the taxes that kill you :(
I don't really understand bcos I don't stay in Germany. But here in Singapore many are struggling, and many do not have a life, despite high living cost and still increasing. I'm in my 40s and thinking of a big change in life by working and living overseas. I'm looking at USA.
@youtube doesn't like my username :( America is boring and suburban hell. It takes a toll on your mental and physical well-being
Just identify as refugee you'll get more than that
I really like living in Germany. Yes, we have enough problems. But I’m happy. We have a high living standard, very good public transportation, a wonderful health insurance, quite generous working laws etc.
(In comparison to many other countries around the globe and even most of Europe)
Most miserable nation on Earth and the competition among others is really great.
People waiting for Deutche Bahn wants to know your location
Health insurance might be considered good (even though it is a totalitarian heck you cant get rid of, just like the ard 2df mafia), but the healthcare system is a failure, designed to suck money, not revive.
Example: you have to take antibiotics, 7 days, 1 pill 3x a day. 21 in total. Your practitioner gives you a prescription for 15. Why? Ez. So that you visit the praxis again for a prescription for the remaining amount and the insurance kasse is involved again.
@@ppbdrinker it's not health care, it's making people even more sick because they're forcing even poor people to pay monthly over 300€ if you don't pay you might end up in prison.
Good public transportation?
Your sure..?
I work in a big car company in Germany as Engineer... and I can tell you the salaries are not high compared to the very high rent (or apartment prices), taxes and high prices of Energy and Benzin in Germany. I really wonder how people here are able to live who get lower salaries. And at some point you have to save to buy a house or an apartment (with something like half a million Euro) because after geting retired, your income gets 60% lower and then you will not even afford the rent of your apartment. I saw retired people who had to move to smaller worse apartments or ask for social housing or shelters. I think life here is not as rosy as people in the third world think. What is worse is: I think the government and politicians in Germany do not care much about this problem, or act as if there is no poor people in Germany at all. Politicians in Germany are rather busy with saving the Earth, recycling and cutting CO2 as their main mission... helping the poor or the middle class in Germany comes as second priority.
So damn true!!
If any random person had made your comment, I would dismiss it, until i investigate it futher, but because you are an engineer. I will deep think about reconsidering my possible move to germany in the future.
@@geddon436 u should still do more research regardless of his profession!
@@sean_6483 its still worth it to move?
@@5lea So your strategy is to return to your land after retirement. What about the Germans, where should they go :D ?
Also the strategy of moving to your country when you retire has one negative side: your health insurance which you have paid into all your life, is in Germany. You will be no more insured in your country. (or ?) Also if you have kids, your kids will have lived all their lives in Germany. If you move back, you move back alone probably.
The fact that expensive Germany is still better than your country, of course it depends on what you were doing in your country or what was your job in your coutnry. Of course for someone who had nothing, and not a good job in their country, Germany will be better.
Germany is generally better for low end jobs. But not so much for highly skilled jobs.
I'd definitely watch a video where you talk us through how you personally went about moving to Berlin and settling in - that would be really cool! 😎
taxes are cool but painful. i actually had more money left for spending on random stuff when i was unemployed than when i was working a minimum wage job because when you are unemployed the state also covers your rent (400), your health insurance (180), your tv (17), your church fees and gives you a culture benefit for getting food and culture really cheap. and now you know why you see so many young german people in the park drinking beer in the middle of the day :D
It’s actually a type of universal basic income. On a very low level, of course, but still enough to make a living. Still most people prefer to work an make more.
What!?
@@arnonym113 There is no universal basic income in Germany. There is support for people who do not work, yes, but you have a lot of obligations like doing training which might bei useless (it often is, I heard from a computer engineer who should do a course about how to work with windows), meetings with officers from the beaurau of empolyment who never have jobs for you but wish to know if you applied enough for jobs, you literally have to give papers about every bit of money you have, and it takes ages until any money comes around - not to mention people will usually look down on you. The latter might not be the case in Berlin where you have lot of people who depend on social security but almost everywhere else.
What a great content!!! Funny and so useful! Thanks a lot!
I'm planning to move to Germany and study. So, therefore, your videos help me a lot. I appreciated all your efforts, mate!

And how much do people working in production earn
He has almost ten times that now
I’m an Australian living in the US. I’m earning more than 3 x what I earned in Australia. I’m working in an office job (for a big company) and I seemed to be earning almost the same as a doctor in Germany, which is wild. Taxes in the US (California) look about the same as Germany and Australia. BUT (and it’s a big butt 😜) you only get 10 days annual leave per year. I find this greatly diminishes quality of life. Now I have money, and all I want to spend it in is travel, but I have hardly any time off. It’s a catch 22.
cost of living is in germany cheaper also health care

Socialism...
That's not true at all lmao.
@@jeremystig98 yeah I think if the high salary preclude 45%for tax ,the salary still higher than others.

I’m glad I’ve found this channel!!!

Hey good video and direct to the point.
Quite informative. Thank you dude!
You're welcome 😁
Juhu, Sellerie! Ich wollte schon immer alles über Sellerie wissen!!
great content.. it is true, you can have a decent life in Germany with social benefits but in my opinion it's hard to earn and save good money in Germany, unless you are self-employed. I'm comparing it with USA and highly developed Asian countries.
Your videos are so interesting and helpful. Thanks a lot!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the video man. Very helpful.❤
Glad it helped!
The taboo of speaking about your income is used by employers to underpay
Probably. But I work in public sector as civil servant, which means all rough pay is transparent (not minding whatever tax class or category might apply to you of course).
So money isn't really that much of an issue in terms of transparency or secrecy, because once you know what "rank" someone has, you can essentially look up how much they earn minimum (experience level and other factors can of course increase the base value, but you still can tell the rough money they would have to make).
Working for German TV, I got 31 WORKING days of paid vacation per year. Only Monday to Friday counted, so that came out to a total of six weeks of paid vacation, and you could take that in conjunction with statutory holidays to spin out your time off another week or ten days.
is it difficult to get a job for TV in Germany?
@@rusasod Like anywhere, you need luck, the qualifications and the right contacts. The media world tends to be quite clannish and hard to get into if you’re not at the right place at the right time.
Awesome content, keep up the funny, cool and informative work 🙃
Thank you! Will do!
Thank very much for this video, you made my broken dreams New hope and my dreams started to bond again,
While average income in Germany was relatively high in 2019 with ~€3500 as mentioned in the video, the median was much lower with just €2500 (gross income). That means that 50% of the German population earn less than €2500 (~€1700 after taxes and insurances). It's also worth mentioning that you're considered upper class with a net income of around €5500 gross income, but you have to pay the property tax with just a monthly income of around €4500 gross income. If you plan to buy real estate in Germany: Forget it.
In addition, the Bachelor is largely considered being a regular degree (just like the so called Fachhochschul-Diplom in the past) and you will get a job with many of such degrees, but it's true that you won't get the best positions. The reason is simply that there are enough alumni with a Master. So, would everyone get a Master, you would still not get the better position, as there is no increase in upper class positions only because you've got a Master. If your company doesn't provide a better position for you having a Master, it's often true that you will not earn much more than a Bachelor with 2 years of experience in many fields. For some fields (mostly academia and maybe mechanical and chemical industry, medicine, lawyers and teachers) it's true that a Master is needed, but that doesn't count for all the jobs on the market.
2500 EUR gross salary is more close -sadly- to 1500 EUR net gross. You are right in everything else though.
@@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist Yeah, my estimation was too high. I've corrected this now.
What do you mean by "good position"? I think it always depends on how do you work... Sure after bachelor without experience you can't be a CEO (joking)...But even with the bachelor with 6 month "Praktika" experience you will get good job with the good salary easily. There are too many free positions in Germany - many possibilities. For example: right after Bachelor a position in Construction branch (not best paid in DE) - you get 3200 even in Berlin! starting with 3500 west Germany. I think its nice enough for young people too start their independent life after only 3 years in University
@@NastyaKisl Don't know if you are or living in Germany. Good Luck in finding that good jobs because of "many free positions"..................... German companys have too high expectations in what a possible employee should offer, therefore most positions will never get filled. And 3.200 EUR in Berlin is................... just nothing. That comes down to around 1.800ish net gross. Considering the very high cost of living in Berlin i wish you good luck with that amount of income :-P
@@NastyaKisl can you please tell about job opportunities after masters in civil engineering, did they get it?
This video sums it all up why I moved to eastern Europe. I frequently complain about socialism here but Germany is a whole different level. If you're single and try to own a house, just forget Germany. Taxes will eat your income and you'll never leave the renting trap. Autobahns and public transport are great but that's about it when we're talking pros. Cheers and thanks for a great video.

Don't really need to be atheist, just non Christian is enough 😃
@@khaledalothman4314 I can’t tell you exactly but married and 1 child makes a huge difference compared to single people. Lets say 3500€ a month as single you can expect like 2200€ whereas married and a kid you would more get like 3000€.( that’s just from the top of my head. Don’t take this as fact.)
@@MrReachashish not even that, even if you are Christian , you just don’t need to be a member of the church. You can still go to church if you like. The priest doesn’t know if you pay church tax lol. As far as I know you then just can’t get married in church . That’s the only thing I know that’s the difference. Probably you cannot baptize your kids or something. I don’t know , I feel like nobody goes to church here anyway, except maybe on religious holidays which is more tradition based than for religious reasons
Rent and cost also high when married. Its not a big difference.
I love your videos man!
What now? Of course a bachelor's degree is sufficient for most jobs. A master's degree is nice to have, but not a requirement for most jobs.
Well, most employers will always prefere someone with a masters degree. In the public sector it is often required to have
@@Polschinski For some positions Masters are considered being too expensive. Generally spoken an Engineering Bachelor is often better for income than a business or Sociology Master in many regions, because there are too many alumni with such degrees.
@@Polschinski Bachelor and Master are relatively new in Germany. We had a Diplom beforehand but in the Bologna process we had to end this. Therefore, many employers do not really trust the Bachlors degree that much.
Germany in a nutshell:
Stay employed as a worker and you will have a good life. Become an entrepreneur or try to be self-dependent and we will make it hard for you.
Its the German way, people to feed t he export business and not create future growth. An oddity of the German system

It is important to mention the tax categories. In his calculator he chose the category 1, which is very high. If you are married and have kids, you pay way less taxes.
But I understand him not going that deep into details.. The video would become 1000% more complex and longer hahahah

Well if u are married with kids, ur salary will just evaporate anyways, so pointless to include those classes

Philippines: salary for starting architect is 300 dollars a month. Cost of living like rent is becoming high but prices of healthcare and food is becoming expensive. Public welfare doesn’t function well, government services suck and feel uncompelled to serve you. Documents will be processed for months. Sick leave is not for everyone. Vacation leave is non existent as well.
Depends on the company you're working with plus by law people who earns 20,000 pesos and below per month are not responsible for income tax.
You are funny 😂 thanks for the valuable info 👍
Any time! 😄
You got a new subscriber. :D
In many German companies it is forbidden to talk about your salary. Since everyone can negotiate his own salary, the company wants to prevent colleagues from knowing how much you earn.
that's shitty. shitty enough to make an union and demand the payroll reports of everyone

i am a construction worker 39h a week 30 days vocation time , 30 y on job 4800 euro ...and christmas bonus full payed ...another 4800 on top ones a year ...if a young man starts as a construction worker he will start with 3000 euros and the salary will be after tax about 2000 euro
Are you German?
4800 brutto I assume. Also, depends what you do in construction.
My partner and I have been planing to move to Berlin for a while now. We're in tech so Berlin seems like a Mecca. Also Berlin is ridiculously cheaper than Dublin . 🥰
Then what are you waiting for?^^ No one ever regretted moving to Berlin!
Depends if you are coder or programmer go for it in Berlin if you work say as a network Engineer etc. then you may be challenged in Berlin .. from experience 6+ yrs ..
@trosky677 speak to a "HR headhunter". even better than going to a headhunter directly is to lure them with xing, linkedin, etc...they are like moskitos...just make sure they can see you. since you only had an internship so far...i have a little advice for you...the next 3-5 years in your job are the most important of your career. you will be defined by those years. in 10 years your degrees are worth nothing...companies just look at what you did in your job from that point. also important to know is that your first salary level will highly influence your salary level in the furture even if its not in the same company. i dont know if you already familia with those things...you have a master degree so you should...but on the other hand i saw people with degrees way better than mine that settled for half what i did. so know what you are worth before you take an offer. in general big companies pay big
@@RadicalLiving I did 😂
Berlin is the cheapest City in germany. The rents getting higher. But drinks and food are so cheap Here. China man or Thai or vietnamnese or korean food 5-7€, schawarna 1€, organic Steak 15€, 7 course menu in Restaurants with a Michelin Star 150€, cocktails 4€, Theater 15-35€. Just Clubs are a little bit expensive, especialy the ones in the tourist guides..
YOUR VIDEO IS SO INTERESTING
The comparison is so lit,coming next year to deautchland
Hey Radical!
I really like the way you presented the information - chilled but still informative. People really need to know what to expect before making the big decision to move to Germany. Interestingly, although I have been living in Germany for over 6 years and been working 2.5 years now full time, I never knew that rape and murder are less offensive than evading tax :) :) :)
Is it the same in other EU countries? I shared a video recently on my channel about GRADUATE SALARIES IN GERMANY VS THE NETHERLANDS, and we talked a bit about taxes in both countries. It would be nice to know how strict other EU countries are with taxes.
Heyy Destiney, glad to hear that :) No idea about the laws in other European countires.... good luck with your channel! 😄
@@RadicalLiving alright. Thanks for the kind comment. I could collaborate with some folks from other EU countries to get a better idea of their laws.
@@RadicalLiving hello..plz tell me about the airport workers(cabin cleaner,etc) in germny.How mch they earn in a month?.and what are facilities for a governmnt employee in germany.?n if a govrnmnt employee wants to keep his wife in germny with himslf..thn is it expensive?
First question you should ask yourself in front of a mirror (and with all the possible honesty) is: "Do I want to get married? Children?". Well if not, better stay abroad and somewhere else as in Steuerklasse 1 you're going to pay over 40% of your salary in taxes. I live in Germany since 2019 and to be honest I can't wait to move abroad again, or maybe back to my homecountry.
Speaking with Germans I also get saving money is worth only with an extra insurance, otherwise as retired you're going to get way less compared to 20-30 years ago. Some projections of the income of specific jobs aren't true. In some scientific branches you're going to earn 50000-max 75000€/year(Brutto again) and that doesn't include taxes. Don't trust whoever says you're going to buy a Porsche or a house in Germany. They're lying you or they're lying themselves. Same goes for the declaimed German efficiency. Most of the time I find myself working x3-5 more and better compared to them and still the majority think they're the best workers in the world or universe. Only honest Germans will tell you the truth and that they don't like their own country.

PS: In Munich with 2500€ Netto you're basically going to pay 50% for your rent and surely not the center area.
Man i love this guy
Good video.
One thing in Germany, you need appointment for almost everything.
Not almost everything, everything
More than salaries, contract enforcement in business is what makes Germany so special.
When folks say they gonna pay u on so and so dates,.u get paid on so and so date.

No problem!

Why would you wanna do that? Japan is any day better than Germany
@@utubefreak7167 ikr
No. I moved to Germany and I regretted. After a year I moved to Sweden and I realized that I did a huge mistake living in Germany.
Germany is 👎
@P dawg I'm also curious
I have left Tokyo and moved to Germany. Now already in process of moving back to Tokyo
This was a reality check!! Thank you 💯💯
thanks for thie infos
France: 30 days holiday per year.
Working hours per week: 35
You get paid sick leaves after 3 or 4 days
13th month bonus
minimum wage is 10,25 Euro
Not sure if the taxes are the same though...
France income is taxed lower, but consumption goods or health care is more expensive
@@cedricrupp834 is healthcare cheaper in Germany? I thought France had it less expensive. This is news to me.
@@AntonandSinan health care insurance (which everyone must have in germany) is at least 100 Euro a month and nearly all you'll ever need is covered (dentist, specialists, hospital care,..). I guess very sick patients might get in financial troubles but I never have. Also you can stay in the insurance of your parents when your under 25 and in education. Than you pay nothing.
@@kyly7928 You miss saying that many specialists or health treatment -like "Ergotherapy"- you need to pay at least partly, even the dentist is only free for basic maintenance, if you need new teeth, crowns, inlays and so on you will quickly learn how expensive it is. Being in Hospital you need to cover a daily fee yourself, many medicaments don't come ordered by Doctor (Rezept) and you need to pay them yourself or at least partly. And so on and on.............. Your money quicker disappears thanyou can look, not to mention you paid hundreds on Health Insurance allready (in my case its over 500 EUR/month -paid half by me, half by my Employer, which means you must distract it 100% from your monthly gross salary!).
@@kyly7928 dentist is not covered, just really basic stuff that rather make ur teeth worse (materials used 50 years ago like amalgam). When I heard how much I would have to pay for fillings of normal quality I chose to do it in East Europe (paid 150€ instead of 900€). I pay the maximum insurance possible 650€ (half from my salary, half employer).
It’s amazing to know that in Germany if one earns 1000€ or less one is considered poor when in Portugal most people earn slightly more than that considering that our minimum wage is 655€ 🤕
Wow that's crazy 😳 best of luck!
@@RadicalLiving indeed, Portugal has some of the lowest wages in Europe, despite yearly updates the minimum wage is still very low, that’s why a lot of people moved to Germany and England in recent years.
@Nuno Vasco Meanwhile the after tax salary of an engineer in Germany is considered poverty live in Switzerland.
@@rishabdhar6900 i think that when it comes to salaries, very few countries can compete with Switzerland 😂😂
@@Nunov103 I know. I just take a jab at Germany because I just cannot stand the arrogance of Germans who think it is richest country in the world and everything is beneath them meanwhile most of the smart Germans left Germany long back.
Portuguese are nice people. Nothing against them. :D
Instant subie you're hilarious I don't care what you are talking about 😂😂😂😂😂❣️
Whohooo so glad! Welcome aboard! 😄
seems quite helpful Bro😃lots of love❤
Earn 1300€ per month and pay at least 500€ for rent and 100-150€ for transporting in order to reach your job. So, 600-650€ left for you. What a great amount. Now you can save this money for buying a house for 200.000€. Probably you will die before you achieve it.
The biggest problem is the real estate prices. Big companies are pumping the prices and its getting worse and worse. Housing suppose to be a basic human right, not a investment tool.
You are not supposed to buy a house on a 1300€/month wage.
@@asatrv I know but even you rent somewhere and you have a min. wage just 600-700€ left. Is that enough for you??
@@izustun9851 No it is not enough for me. There are many possibilities to educate yourself in Germany in order to get a higher paying job.
@@asatrv that is true, I am not a worker who gets min. wage. Which brings us another problem, taxes. If hou are highly skilled worker probably you gonna pay %50 tax. In the end of the day you get 3x min. Wage around 3000-3500€. After tax differrence isn't too much. So still you can not buy a house, even if you are a engineer or something like that
@@izustun9851 As an engineer you earn 60-80k a year as a first year employee, which is 3000-3800€ net pay a month. You can easily buy real estate up to 500k€ with a wage like that. Many engineers go on to earn more than 100k€ a year later in their careers, mind you.
0:48 Salaries are much higher compared to any "Asian country". Not true for Singapore, (Hong Kong), UAE and some other gulf states... at all :)
In any case, great video!
I bet you know nothing about Iran.

If someone is planning to come to Germany with their family and their main goal is to work and earn a good income, it's important to consider the following aspects of life and working in Germany:
- German society can be rigid and not always open to other cultures.
- There is a shortage of housing in Germany, making it difficult to find an affordable apartment (Currently, there is a shortage of 700,000 apartments).
- Taxes in Germany are high, with a 25% income tax and a 19% VAT on most goods and services.
- Every household in Germany is required to pay a monthly fee for television and radio, even if you don't own these devices or use them.
- Kindergartens can have long waiting lists, and private options are too expensive.
- It can be difficult to get an appointment with a doctor quickly and if you don't speak German, it can be difficult to receive proper medical treatment.
It's important to think carefully before making the decision to move to Germany.
