thats roundabout 45% but yeah. Actually high earners pay less taxes than those stuck in the middle (like 40k to 60k) because after a certain threshold (i think around 60k) your contributions to health care (which is until then around 15% of your income) don't rise anymore (unless you have a very expensive private health care plan but thats on you ;)).

Additionally, I remember hearing that private healthcare can be cheaper for young healthy people as the public healthcare is a fixed percentage and the private is based on your circumstances. So many high earners pay less for healthcare than lower earners until they age/have families
