      In this LinkedIn post www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7094572958563622913-PsUq you can see the net and gross salary difference between individuals and family in Germany. It is not in detail but will give you a bit of perspective.
      One can use this online calculator www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/gehalt/gross_net_calculator_germany.php to find how much taxes one pays when they are individual and family. In this calculator make sure to choose Tax category 1 if you are individual and Tax category 3 when you are married.
      I will create a detailed video soon on this topic.

    You’re totally right about saving taxes as a family. Even just being married already brings a lot of tax savings if your partner has a much lower (or zero) income. That is nice, but has the negative incentive of keeping one spouse at home.

    • @chandra-sen

      I think one usually travels to India once a year and the savings that I am talking is monthly savings.
      Also, I have shared my experience and one has to check for oneself if it actually makes sense for them as each one of us would have our own way of living. :)

    As a single person doing masters and then getting a job with a salary of 50k , how much he/she can save if we consider he or she will visit once a year?

    • @chandra-sen
      @chandra-sen  4 месяца назад

      When you are single and your salary is €50k then your net salary that comes and sits in your bank account by the end of each month = €2,691
      One can have a decent life with €1k to €1,6k per month (depending on the lifestyle and city). Which means one can save about €1k to €1,3k per month.
      Flight to India can cost somewhere between €600 to €1000 for both to and from.

    Can you make a video (or just reply in comment) talking about the level of happiness/peace as a student-a fresh graduate with below average salary- to at 50-60k salary and now at your current stage. In Germany ofcourse.
    Like if you go back 9 years in the past and you are getting a good job in your home country then would u chose that or still come to Germany knowing everything.
    I know its a deep question but actually I have heard and seen many people become all miserable in Germany during or after their studies. I myself will hopefullly be coming there in summer 24 for masters.

    • @chandra-sen
      @chandra-sen  6 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks a lot for your question and I am sure I will make a video about it.
      If you want to know why I promote living in Germany or for that matter living abroad, you can watch this video of mine: ruclips.net/video/7jjRX-jmyTo/видео.html
      To answer your question on if I would still choose Germany, it is yes and that is the reason why I am still living in Germany as well. For me, things that matter are the most peaceful life, fairness in society, stress-free living, social security, good nature, and a stress-free visa procedure. This is what Germany is providing me and has provided me.
      I have not come to Germany to become rich or to save a lot of money. What I have noticed is that the immigrants who come to Germany to make great money are the ones who get disappointed. This is not the country to get rich, this is the country to have a quality life and a well-secured and peaceful life.
      With regards to salaries, one can have a very decent life even with €30-35k salary. In fact, the German average salary is around €45k. If you are earning €60k+ then maybe you are in the top 20-25% of the German population.

    • @chandra-sen
      @chandra-sen  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for your question. Below I will share my thoughts.
      As a matter of fact I know that INR 32lks p.a is a great salary in India. One can have very good life with this money in India.
      Also, €75k is a great salary to have in Germany. The German average salary is about €45k when you compare it with this then it is very clear that it is a great salary.
      But if you take cost of living into consideration and then compare INR 32lks in India vs. €75k in Germany then I think you are better off with INR 32lks in India than in Germany.
      As this is the case please make sure to answer yourself what exactly is your motivation behind moving to Germany.
      If your major motivation to move to Germany is make more money and saving more money then do not come I would say.
      But your major motivation is to get great work life balance, get International exposure which will put you in a different league, provide good education to you kid (for free), get different cultural exposure which beings growth personally and professionally for you and your family, do not have the frustration about unfairness and corruption in the society etc. etc. then it can be the right step to move to Germany.
      I hope my answer will provide you some information to take your decision.

    Hi Chandrasen, I am planning to join higher medical training from 2024. My gross will be approx 5000 to start and then 6600 by year 6th.
    Possibly will be working till 67 or 70 years age.
    So, 15 to 20 years working years.
    I will have 1 kid who is 11 years right now.
    My wife will be working slowly as will get time from the kid after they adjust.
    Now the question is that will we be able to buy a house?
    If we don't return back, will we be able to save enough to retire?
    If yes, it's worth else not.....
    Please guide...

    • @chandra-sen
      @chandra-sen  7 месяцев назад +1

      With the current situation in Germany, the interest rates are quite high, and hence buying a house could be a bit expensive.
      There is a public pension system in place for every German resident who works and lives in Germany.
      With the salaries that you are sharing, it is still worth I think. But I do not know what are your salaries in your home country now and what are your expectations from working and living in Germany.
      As a rule of thumb what I always recommend to International people is that, if one is looking to have a stress-free life, great work-life balance, fairness in society, and have a decent life then they should choose Germany. You cannot become a millionaire by moving to Germany.
