I take home roughly 56% of my salary. I’m sure I will be grateful for the mandatory retirement they take out of my check in 30 years, but now? It’s frustrating as hell.
Wow. I ALSO take home about 56% of my actual salary. Some of that is forced savings, but it’s a bummer.
74.3% after tax, pension and private health insurance.
Would have been 75.3% but we all were hit with a 1% gov levy a few months ago. Still though not so bad considering it all socialist over here 
I net out 62% according to my latest paycheck. Of course I’m also getting a pretty good refund this year and probably will again next year.
97.9% right now. The only deduction I have is federal WH (I claim 2). This is for paychecks August-May. I don’t get paid in June-July unless I pick up a teaching job. Then I have to pay Medicare and Social Security alternative (voluntary 457). A lot of my pay is unavailable to me in medical benefits and tuition waivers, but I can’t see any of this.
Don’t worry, I’m sure I get paid way less than you.
I’m also at 56%. That includes 10% for TSP (401K).
68.5%, but that’s after a voluntary sharesave contribution, so it could be 70.7%.
However, after I’ve paid for my annual rail that gets me to work, I actually get 61.1%
If I multiply my bi-weekly paycheck by 26 and then divide that by my salary (rounding to the nearest hundred for both), it comes out to about a 66.4% take-home. American working in America.
68% after tax, National Insurance and pension fund contributions.
Very. I loved working overseas.
I’ve been unemployed for the last 14 months so I’m seeing 100% of zip.
