Ask HN: Earning 100k EUR in Berlin?

Canada is even more puzzling. You can cross the border from Vancouver to Seattle and triple your salary, pay less in income taxes, and live in a city with less rent.

All over less than 100 miles.

I suppose that people really value being in Canada.

Some of us do, but I think majority would hop on an airplane at a drop of a hat. Indeed, if it weren't for pandemic I myself would be looking to move to the US.

Staying in Canada is very hard to justify for a software dev.

How much of the Canadian salary is taken in taxes?

For me (in BC), around 25-30% and I'm slightly below 100k. The deduction is usually a little more than if you use those online tax calculators.

For me ends up being 28%-ish percent if my math is correct. Ether way 25-30% is a good ballpark
