Would that translate into a "40k in your pocket" salary? I have heard Germans mention 50% tax before, but no idea how it is implemented.

For a single without kids, 50%, meaning 40k in your pocket, is a good rule of thumb, yes.

So an 80k salary in Germany involves the employee paying 50% and the company paying another 20k on top of that?

You can check the exact amounts with this online calculator: https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/gehalt/gehaltsrechner-...

Set the "Steuerklasse" to 1 for singles, 3 for married employees.

Yes. But remember that this includes health insurance, basic retirement, unemployment benefits and so on.
