A factor that affects a lot of expats is Blue Card vs Work Permit salary requirements. Sometimes as an expat you must be paid higher than colleagues in the team you’re joining because of immigration requirements - more often an issue in small-medium size companies where pay equity hasn’t been figured out yet. Nice video roundups here on pay topics!

Looking at newer comments I can see at least one person who doesn't seem to have it. But looking at the girls for example, I can see the healthy corelation between knowing your worth and actually thriving to do more and to create.. with it.

To me personally, it's about starting _from_ somewhere. What both of you mention about your first jobs and salaries makes perfect sense. You see, I expect no miracles, but I wish to be able or capable of making miracles eventually myself. With all my experience and my knowledge, including having dated someone living in Germany, I find that the quality of life is the real gap. She earned below average salary (for Germany) and she took me on a trip to Bremen and Hannover, she rented a car to take me from the airport and walk me around Dortmund.. and many other nice gestures during my stay. Here in Bulgaria, if I was her, I couldn't afford doing that much for someone visiting me for 10 days. As for the gender gap I am sure it will be dealt with. I'm a woman and we don't have a gender gap in terms of salaries, but in the end of the day how does it matter, if both members of a family fight over bills and basic living expenses. Well, still, the quality of people who would listen and understand is what counts for fighting for a higher salary and warmer hearts. 😉

Outside of EU, I see a completely different tax system. Once I worked in two start-ups at the same time, and used Russian tax system that allowed me to save almost all income on my hands. So, in my opinion 2,500 euros net is good enough for a life, but when you have 5,000 - 8,000 euros you can forget about prices and live without a headache how to buy something. And when you get more than 10,000 euros per month net you are completely freedom. My best result so far was $13,000 net.

This is a great video with a good breakdown! I moved from a big city and took a paycut on my previous gross salary, but I have been amazed how much I am provided for in Germany and never really felt broke despite technically having much lesser money than before. I think until you live here and really experience the economy and plan your finances, the numbers are just... numbers! End of the day I believe we should be fighting for fair salaries, and not higher ones just for the sake of it. Back home, higher salaries just drastically increased the cost of living and basic services. So everyone is constantly chasing after more coin but it's a never-ending rat race where everyone ends up unhappy. It's been a short time here, but I'm very happy with the system in Germany so far because it's quite fair and there is not so much needless competition to be the richest.

The social contributions you need to pay in Germany can be quite high. Health insurance costs can be exorbitant, and accessing specialist doctors can be challenging. Waiting times can be long, sometimes leading to critical situations before receiving treatment, often resulting in visits to the emergency department.

@Yosh001 Год назад

Great video but maybe in a next one you could go into more detail about the fact, that there is "Tariflohn" and "AT's - Außerhalb Tariflohn". Not sure if this is of interest for your target audience but in Germany still the unions are quite strong and even with an academic grade you are often employed to a certain "salary class - Tarifklasse". Your gross salary in that class is negotiated between the unions and their counterparts, the association of employers for that industry sector, even if you are not member of that union if you have a tarif contract. It has it pros and cons as you might get like an anual 3% increase of income or like in the chemical indsutry 1k€ extra in May without ever negotiating yourself, but on the ohter hand, you can't just go to your boss and negotiate yourself for more.

@simplegermany Год назад

Very true! Thanks for adding this information! 😊

@AV-we6wo Год назад

I think the last sentence is a bit misleading. You can always try to negotiate for more than the Tariflohn, that's just kind of a specific 'minimum wage' for your type of job. But your boss probably will be less willing to discuss wages than in a company where every salary is negotiated individually.

You two are highly entertaining and feed off of each other which makes it a pleasure to watch. As you mentioned, using averages can high some pretty wide variations in the numbers. I live in Southern NJ and while my salary here would most likely put me in the top 5% once I travel 30 miles north closer to NYC my "ranking" falls dramatically. Housing, Insurance and Property taxes take a much bigger chunk out of those paychecks so it tend to even out. I know that in Germany, they take out a percentage for National Health Insurance and was curious of that was just based on salary or do they take into account total family size. Here in the US its kind of a mish-mash as most companies provide Insurance as part of the compensation packages and your cost can be all over the map depending on number of dependents. I have a colleague whose company pays 100% of family health costs and I pay about 250/month for a family of 4. Thanks!

@Kivas_Fajo Год назад

It's 14 % of your salary, I guess. 7 % your part, 7 % your employers part. So from say 3 grand you pay roughly 420 bucks health insurance, but as I said it is divided between you and your boss. So 210 and you're covered for everything. At one point in your income you have no choice anymore and have to change from public to private insurance. That's around 5 grand, I guess? Difference between the two. No waiting times anymore as a privately insured patient at doctors/dentists. Room in the hospital can be yours alone. They pay more for your teeth, but you can get an additional insurance for real small money to even that out as a publicly insured. Like 5 bucks a month or so... Glasses and jackets in your teethset are not covered by public insurance. The first one is really bad, if you ask me, because glasses are freaking expensive. Nevertheless...5 bucks insurance on your glasses and you get new ones for free, if they break somehow, including you being tipsy stepping on them.

@stbufraba Год назад

The Percentage for health insurance is from your income alone, on average 15,6% (of which you pay half) up until 59.850 EUR per year in 2023. If there is more income, this will then be free. Your familiy is covered by your health insurance as long as their individual income is low (

Actually, there is a progressive list... the more someone earns, the more taxes are paid. So, there is netto salary, than brutto salary, but then there is also "invisible" brutto-brutto" which are not visible on the paycheck. Someone with the average salary has to also earn that brutto-brutto (a tax that the company needs to pay for each employee) too, so when someone earns 100% there is only 45% on the bank account. 55% go to taxes and mandatory contributions... and when someone spent that 45% there is another 22% tax (vat)... Converting the income to energy: someone earns 100% of the "energy" but actually receives only 35%... and in case someone invests into the property like own home instead of having fun, traveling, buying "stuff" then is additional property tax... so the system sucks "A LOT"... The bad situation in Germany? Not at all: people at least receive something from the taxes...Germany is ranked as the 10th country by the living standard. For example, some countries are transforming taxes into military and people have only "the security" and even a common diabetes illness can cause a family bankruptcy... such country is the USA, which is ranked by the living standard as the 28th country. Long story short: taxes are not a bad thing when invested back to people instead of protecting the corporations.

Most of my friends are (non-software) engineers and make between 60 and 95k a year with around 0-5 years of experience. I don't feel like that is specifically much and can't believe that there are many software engineers out there that would even consider working for 70k a year when they have 9+ years of experience.

Just as a clarification: You say there is a part oft your gross income you never see. That is not entirely correct as the part you call "pension insurance" is - in effect - more of a pension plan. While the insurances for health, care and against unemployment only apply under special circumstances, the "pension insurance" pays as soon as you reach pension age and in relation to your payments. Thus it is more a kind of forced saving than an insurance.

The salary tax, and insurance and social security monthly contribution is the matter to make people happy or unhappy, actually, if you earn EUR 5000 per month brutto, in your pocket you will receive around EUR 3000 per month as netto, which demotivate people from promoting to a higher position with a higher salary but far higher responsibility for the role. Working in Germany does not give people much money or to be rich, but you will have more labor protection, limited working hours per week (compared to unlimited working hours in Asian countries), more freedom to enjoy your life after work (or even you can use this freedome to take a side job for side income).

Project Manager jobs in IT in Germany are reserved to Germans because most of them hate programming and doing sth productive, but love talking a lot by saying nothing, sitting in useless meetings with no results and asking others when something will be ready. Even the ones that start as programmers switch soon to leading possitions, leaving for foreigners the technical part. So your chances are quite low to be honest.

@@purosfoodntravelnetworkper9268 Yes, I have been working in German companies during the last 10 years as a programmer. 4 companies already, same experience everywhere with project managers. I never had a project manager that was non-german and 80% of my software developer colleagues are foreigners.

@lichansan1750 Год назад

Look up large international enterprises in Germany and directly write them. Send a follow up about 4 weeks in if you haven't heard of them. After that it is a lost cause. large international enterprises, independent where there hq is, have 2 advantages for you: 1. their project teams can usually communicate in english, some of them even have english as official company language 2. they sometimes have specialist helping to relocate. There are of course also smaller companies that provide the same advantages that are actively hiring project managers. But these are hard to find. Also linked in is not necessary the main choice for German companies. Email/their website is often preferred. Regarding nationality of project managers: A lot of Project Managers are actually German. But I think it is for different reason: Discussions and negotiations with customers can become quite tricky and quickly turn into a somewhat hostile situation. If people aren't fluent in the language these situations are hard to navigate. Also dialects might cause some issues for foreigners. And don't let this discourage you: Many contracts and legal documents are in a German legalese which even for Germans is hard to understand. And Amtsdeutsch is even more crazy. All of which is something a project manager has to deal with.

I don't know how this average salary is enough! I am earning 52k euros with my partner and a kid who depend on my salary and I feel broke as hell at the end of every month (even sometimes after 15 days). My lifestyle is also not very luxurious. My rent is also quite low (550 euros). The electricity + gas bill is around 310 euros. I live in a small city (Aachen). Maybe its getting a little expensive living in Germany now. I think earning around 75k euro will stabilize my lifestyle.

@simplegermany 10 месяцев назад

@HelloMotoTwenty21 9 месяцев назад

I'm afraid 52k€ gross for a family of 3 won't get you very far. I started with a salary of 52k€ back in 2017 as a single (no dependants). I couldn't imagine having to feed two additional mouths with this salary in 2023. I don't know about your family's situation, but a 2nd income (520€ basis or part-time) would definitely reduce the stress and enable you to reach the 75k€ without you having to break your back for a 23k€ salary increase.

@@ahmedmokhtar5413 Hi Amed, that should be more than fine. Just fyi: If you are married in Germany and only one partner works, you can actually use the so called "Ehegattensplitting". Summarized that means that both of your tax allowances will be added together, resulting in a significant lower income tax burden for you, compared if you would be single. For example with 80k gross you might have 3,7k net/month, and if married 4,4k net/month (due to a different tax bracket "Steuerklasse")
