At least in Germany the employers pay about half of mandatory social insurances such as healthcare, unemployment, pension etc.

This is usually not considered when people talk about pre-tax salaries. Ultimately though that’s just accounting, really that is part of the money you earn.

The same is true for US (I think - maybe someone from there can correct me if it's wrong).
