Hi Stevie,yes brutto is top line Before deductions.I get a Little tired when people write and say they earn vast sums,then it turns out that what they actually earn is reduced by up to 4o% due to deductions.The Point i was making is that what you get in the bank '‘after’'deductions is the only really important figure because thats what dictates your standard and quality of Life.
Not sure how far I’d agree with that? As Remy says giving a gross figure is a good way of comparing different companies, within any system.
And aren’t Swedes among the most content people? Highly taxed (hence lower take home pay) but with no health, education, or pension worries as that’s looked after by the state? No worries about comparing and swooping between different private health/pension/education providers who all take a wedge of income out in profits and advertising etc.
