I keep hearing different amounts for that.
Also what is the standard fees that would be taken from your salary. I heard 4.5% goes to pension. Anything else? |

Taxes vary depending on your salary and deductions. For a salary of around 2 million it should be in the range of 1.6%.
Check the specific deduction anount on the tax office website.

You should also pay into pension (~4.5% of your salary) and
medical insurance (2.77% of your salary).
These 3 are the only manditory, LEGAL deductions. |
