minus-squareseapat@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down3·edit-22 months agoBecause the German salary is net and I thus assumed that the Dutch salary is as well. What do you mean by ”sudden”?
minus-squaredafo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down1·2 months agoWhy net? In Sweden we only ever talk about gross, or as we save “before taxes”, as it varies around the country.
minus-squareDon_alForno@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 months agoGermans do too, no idea what OC was thinking about. It indeed doesn’t make sense to talk about net as that changes with personal circumstances. The group E12 that was mentioned starts at 4170€/ month gross. That’s just under the German average wage (but above Median).

minus-squareseapat@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoWell the German one isn’t though, so this is like comparing apples to oranges
minus-squareVincent@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoYeah I think that’s the point they were trying to make :)
minus-squareseapat@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-22 months agoI guess I was doing it too subtle :)
minus-squareseapat@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months ago Why net? Because E12 refers to a very specific salary table. Hence the German salary must be net. Why would you compare Net and gross salaries?
