I suspect that the small companies in Japan and Europe are below average by the same factor.

In the end it depends on the cost of living and the rents.

Average wage in Estonia is way less than that (and I would imagine most of EU's average wage is less than that), at 21,420.78 USD, but we have 20% VAT.
