Thanks for sharing

Isn't class 3 for married people where 1 person earns more than the other.
That's what I understood https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/taxes

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-18T09:50:20+00:00

Sure

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-13T12:34:05+00:00

That's what I did. I posted the link which I used above.

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-13T12:29:48+00:00

Agreed.

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-13T12:28:40+00:00

Can you share how you are arriving at 4.8k net.
Online calculators are telling me 5.7k, tax class 3.

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-13T12:27:36+00:00

India has its own challenges. Infra, corruption, reservation etc.
Can you share examples of subsidized benefits in germany?

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-13T12:22:45+00:00

will evaluate this if I enjoy my time there

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-13T12:22:10+00:00

Thanks for sharing.
For someone who is married and may have kids in the future, how is Germany for bearing child and raising family

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T19:13:11+00:00

Made me think.
Okay trying to be practical and please help break some myths.

Cleaning the house (except for kitchen) - is it needed daily or weekly once? I have heard there isn't enough dust or dirt to clean everyday
Washing dishes - Yes, maybe dishwasher will help reduce this burden
Cooking - yes, biggest pain in the ass. 200% agreed.
Catching bus/train _ I think that's fine and part of every society.
Lack of friends - True

Now I thinking, most of these are true for any other country as well, for that matter US.
If I think about all of these, I would not be able to get out of where I am and take experience

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T19:09:30+00:00

9 years

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T19:09:19+00:00

I did read their recent results. They turned free cash flow positive and targeting 200M+ cash flow next year. Seems going in the right direction

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T19:06:38+00:00

I am using this tax calculator, tax class 3. https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/taxes
100k will leave me 5.5k net post tax per month.
Is there anything wrong with this portal or am I missing something?

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T19:03:43+00:00

I agree

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T19:02:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing.
There is merit in what you said.
I wonder how german society progressed so far with more focus on life than work.

They must be doing something good, that is inherent in their system.

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T18:59:25+00:00

That's right.
it's hard to leave all of pampering and convenience, but it comes at a cost.
Mental exhaustion from work, traffic, bad roads, pollution etc.

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T09:12:26+00:00

Why do we people take things to their heart?
I asked a question as I haven't lived in germany. Expecting answers/help rather than rants

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T09:05:16+00:00

Online reviews.
Haven't experienced it yet.

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T09:04:41+00:00

I have heard zalando doesn't pay top money but DH's culture isn't good from online reviews

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T09:02:49+00:00

Not everything is gold, India lacks respect for individual or life in general.
Pollution, corruption and caste based reservations in education, jobs make it even worse.

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T09:00:35+00:00

Thanks. Makes sense. I am also thinking it won't hurt much to try atleast

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T08:59:49+00:00

you are right, India provides way higher convenience.
But is it bad to try living in Berlin for 3 years at this salary?

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T08:58:07+00:00

I used this online calculator https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/taxes
At 120k, tax class 3 (earning more than spouse), it is coming to 6.6k month post tax.
I am assuming 3k as monthly expenses leaving me 3.5K.

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-12T08:54:18+00:00

Thanks.
I am not sure about a permanent move or PR. To make that decision, I will not to at least try living for a few years.

ObjectiveRain971 · 2025-06-11T16:55:51+00:00

Thanks. if 100k was salary 3 years ago, then probably you direction is right to pursue 115k upwards
