Is that the actual paycheck, or the company expenses on salaries? I&#x27;m not an expert on German finances, but I would expect the actual paycheck to be only about 50% of total employer expenses.<p>And then the state takes about 40% of the actual paycheck in taxes and social payments. Teslas and Mercedeses are not the car of the file-and-rank employees if that ~80k was the full company expense per employee.
