I normally pay around 35 % for taxes and insurances (germany). But the more I earn, the more I have to pay. When I earn 2.000 bucks in a month, I just pay around 500 € for taxes and insurances. But When I earn 6.000 €, I'll have to pay around 2.500 € for that stuff.

The German state takes more than 40% of your wage for government social security alone, followed by a progressive income tax.

I'm a freelancer, so I don't pay for social security.
