In Germany it is rather a rule of thumb that the company has to pay the same amount to you as to other instituations (social security contributions, pensions office, long-term care insurance, health insurance etc.).
e.g. if the company pays you 100K, they may have to pay the government 10K a year in tax which pays for the services, whereas in America you may be paid 120K and then have to fork over 20K for those services
(all numbers are made up obviously).
