I read a lot about people saying that the salaries in NZ are much lower compared to Europe. Now I've been offered a job with a salary of $55K per year and if my calculation is correct (33% tax in NZ?) I find the result per month very pleasing. Maybe the salaries in the UK are much higher than the rest of Europe, or the tax rate isn't that high in the UK? The tax rate for me at the moment is a bloody 45% (on a salary of appx $70K), so I'm very happy with what I've been offered in NZ :P It's pretty much the same as I'm earning here at the moment.
Or am I missing something?
