Financial question

Sethir · Post by **Sethir** » Sun Jun 10, 2001 1:53 am

How much is the average salary for 1month(I mean payment for work) in your country? I know, it is soooo personal question, but I want only AVERAGE number.
In my country it is 10 000 czech crowns for 1month, what is about 250 dollars.

Sethir, you're asking for various number here. Anyway I try to fill you out with certain example using USD.

For Banking :
Customer Service & Teller : USD 30 tp USD 50, and they got overtime USD 2 - USD 3 perhour
Head Customer Service aka Supervisors : USD 80 to USD 90 no overtime given
Ass. Managers : USD 100 to USD 250 - no overtime but got certain plus i.e. cellphone bill paid by office if they're used for official business
Managers : USD 300 to USD 500 no overtime but got lots of cool things i.e. given a car for use, cellhone bill totally covered, personal email address and the right to access internet using terminal connected to the PC used by his/hers. Also they can go to work late, i.e. if office hour start from 8.00 they can come in at 9.00

As those below managers if they come late their salary will be deducted if they do it more than 3 times

You can say it's a slavery here for people who got less than managerial title

A side note :
for technicians they got USD 10 - USD 30 with overtime limited to 100 hrs overtime a month

@Sethir: That is a question impossible to answer... We have average "income" per household, or average salary for specific category, ie. average for nurses, newly graduate doctors, teachers, taxy drivers, shopkeepers, or executives etc., but not in the total.

I know, that U can not answer tis so easy,but
I mean salary without minus of tax (SFMBE).
It is VERY difficult to say, what I mean in my language. In my country, we have average "income" per month-for engineers, doctors etc. (or per 12 hours et cetera..)
But thnx for answer, Kid01

NP Sethir, BTW the salary above is eraned monthly.

FYI for engineer we have ranging work time. In local company Mon-Fri 8.00-17.00. As for Foreign company (mostly Asians i.e. Korean, Singaporean etc.) is stated the same but on the practice sometimes they get home in the middle of the nite due the project and other considerations (boss order

). Hope that helps.

Of what use is knowledge of the average salary, if we don't also factor in the average cost of goods and services? I know of people who get paid in excess of US $100,000/year, but they live in New York City, in a tiny, two room apartment, in a relatively mediocre portion of town. It's all they could afford.

Perhaps we should factor in the social expectations of a given culture--the kinds of things you're expected to afford, if you want to live up to that average.

The wages in Denmark useally lies between 80 d.Kr to, well a lot, but useally around 150 d.Kr.

That amouts to around 9 US$ to 17 US$ per hour.

My current job I earn 100 d.Kr a hour (11 $)

Of course I also pay a total of 51% in tax

+ VAT of 25% on all goods

Well actually it is only 8,76

I mostly always calculate with 8,5 though, because it avarages around that most of the time

The living standard also a factor here. The funny thing is these days my goverment plan to raise phone bill and petrol price. They even stated that the price is lower than neighbooring countries. OMG Don't they even think of the living standard factors, can't they see that so many still living in poverty ?

The average monthly income for one person in Sweden would be around $800 after taxes. The lowest salaries allowed in Sweden for a full time job would be around $500-600 after tax. People with high income, like computer consultants, earn maybe about $5000-10000 before tax, but since we have a progressive income tax, they will pay 60% tax and that leaves about $2500-4000.

Food and housing is quite expensive here, especially in the cities. But the living standard is very high here globally speaking.
Just for comparison: a nice two room flat in the centre of Stockholm would cost $150000-200000 to buy, to rent maybe $500 per month. In the surburbs, maybe 2/3 or half of that. A nice house in the nicer surburbs would cost around $300000.

A dinner at an average restaurant would be $15 per person for the food only, the double if you like some wine to your meal. To have a car costs around $500 per month due to all taxes, insurances, parking space rent etc. A ticket to a movie theatre is $8-9.
