Here in Sweden, they calculate on a monthly basis so it varies. I currently have two jobs and a decent income compared to the median so I've come close to or just crossed the limit for state taxes a few times in the past year or so. The limit for state taxes is around 47.000 SEK a month, or roughly 4700$. I pay around 27% in municipal taxes up to 4700$, they add another 20% on any amount surpassing that. So if I make 5500$ one month (which was my highest so far), I pay the regular 27% municipal on the entire 5500$ and then 20% of 800$ in addition to this. One issue with this system is that the cut-off point is abrupt and the hike is substantial, leading some to actually lose out a bit when they're hovering around 5000-6000$. In other cases, with lower-income jobs, it's beneficial to not work at all and rather claim benefits from social services. This is even more unfortunate and one of the reasons why people who suggest "entry-level jobs" as a solution to overall high unemployment rates within certain demographics get so much shit.

Way to much.

But the maximum amount you could pay monthly is 769,16€ due to the Beitragsbemessungsgrenze.

Or do you include the long-term care insurance?

OdinHades already explained it a little but I want to expand on that.

If you take the German median salary of 44,074 Euro (see OP), you would need to pay roughly 292 Euro a month for health insurance.
The employer will pay an additional 292 Euro.

The public insurance will thus receive 584 Euro. If you earn 58.050 Euro a year, you reached a limit where the public insurance receives no more than 769.16 Euro. So if you're employed, the maximum you can pay for health insurance is 384.58 Euro a month.

A freelancer has to pay the employer fee as well.

It doesn't matter if or how many children you have. All of them are automatically covered at no extra cost. If your wife does not work or earns less than 5,400 Euro a year, she's included as well.

With that you're all set and the public insurance will pay everything from the first Euro cent. You only have to pay 5 Euro - 10 Euro for every prescription drug, 10 Euro for every day spent in a hospital (280 Euro max a year) and for anything fancy that is not considered basic healthcare.

Yes, I did. I don't care too much what exactly I'm paying for as I'm always paying all of it in one payment. To be precise I'm paying 887,68 € to my insurance company each and every month at the moment. But at least I can deduct that from my taxes, so it isn't too bad.

My average tax rate is 25%, marginal at 34.5% here in Australia.
Paid almost $25,000 in total tax this financial year... Or the equivalent to 17,000 USD.

That includes the 2% for the medicare levy to support our universal healthcare system. (I could save money and go private.. But rather support the system.)

Honestly it seems high, but there are so many benefits it actually evens itself out compared to other nations without social benefits like the USA.

Hoping I don't nudge the next tax bracket next year which will increase my marginal tax rate to 39%. - Probably gonna get near it at the very least with the pay rises.

So you got roughly $75k take home from a total of $100k? That’s basically the same in the US.

Salary sacrifice into your super... Or even better mortgage. 

Even if it's just a few thousand. 

Average tax rate doesn't include deductions, tax exemptions on some income and more.
Marginal is closer to what I paid.

I do salary sacrifice a chunk of salary onto a debit card which is tax-exempt, which has been great... But the cap on that is only $15,000.

Just built a brand new home in December, so haven't had the chance to wittle down the mortgage... And wanting to upgrade my PC soon once new hardware drops.
