EU pay is much lower than the US for the same job

True. In fact, Iast night I saw a tiktok video of some woman asking web developers in San Francisco how much they earn and the wages were like $200k/year and even more. In Finland a web developer makes about $30k/year.

2022 US federal taxes on 100k = $17,835.5, so 17.8%. That's a single filer. Married is a bit lower. I looked up a calculator for California and the total state and federal would be $28k, so 28%. California is a higher tax state.

Which calculator did you use? Is it free to use? I know only smartasset's calculator. I also included FICA, state and local taxes if there were any.

Cost of living varies a huge amount in the US. It can be super low which it is in like 90% of the country, or super high if you like in San Francisco. Where I live in LA is one of the highest in the country, but it's still a lot lower than Western Europe.

Yes, but generally cost of living much lower than in West Europe (including Scandinavia and Finland).
