Player RL income

[Corey 'Greyfox']

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering what the average RL income is of EU players.

US currency please
As per suggestion, this is pretax income.

also add currency.

I'm sure this information is as useful as an average temperature of a hospital's patients including the morgue and the infectious section, because there are people whose income is below 3k$/year and those who seemingly earn over 100k$/year from EU alone . The average would tell nothing.

Ah, noticed the poll. Whole countries fall under the first option.

Maybe, but I'm not doing this for any scientific reasons, I'm just curious to see what the average, and what the largest single group is.

just out of curiousity, what's the avg tax you pay in the US vs the EU?

Not in the US, in Canada. And to bloody much

You could use this, http://www.tax-services.ca/canadian-tax-calculator/income-tax-calculator-canada.html

to do a cross comparision as to what you would pay in Canada, although it doesn't include what you would pay in EI and CPP

most likely the largest single group is paid in euro's and now has to convert it to mickey mouse money

Probably, but sinse EU uses the USD, I figured I would too

Roughly 36% in Norway. And then 25% VAT upon the remaining. I could keep going but u get the idea

Wish I had that low tax

Like I said, that doesn't include what you pay into EI and CPP. Just cold hard income tax. Add those two in and what you pay almost doubles.

I've actually cross referenced with your tax structure, and if I worked in Sweden and made the same, I'd pay about 5% more in tax when everything is said and done. But you guys also have a much lower property tax, and a much better health care system. So I think the trade off works.

I don't think either currency should be making fun of the other at this point...

Sorry, was suggested after I made the poll

I'm a freelancer IRL and my accountant works out the best tax plan for me but it was around 13% last for my last financial year on the gross income, primarily in corporation tax, plus the equivalent of about $150/€130 in personal taxes - I do have a very good accountant but me and the wife did not actually take out much personal money last year as it happens - we only ever take out what we need on a month by month basis, not an actual salary.

Total fees I received last year was 6 figures, be it in $, € or £

Why didn't you include more options?


I am missing at least the following options

250 upwards
500 upwards
1 million upwards

I am sure that there are quite a few people here that are in those brackets (myself included). And 191k USD is less then 6-digits in Euro in Germany (after taxation) so actually not that much (relatively speaking).

Only allowed 20 options for a poll, and I figured 50-100k incraments would be to broad.

Well, if you noted the drop of the Euro against the Dollar the last few months, the only non-disneyland currencies will be Norway and Switzerland soon

Don't forget AUD they seem hardly influenced by any crisis of this time. Hmmm this poll isn't as anonymous as Crone thought. He just noted one post and one poll increase.

Except being that they have the highest over inflated housing market at the moment, they could be in trouble when that buble pops. (Sadly Canada is just behind them in that)

More than i thought doing the 191k/year

 

[RickEngland]

Not enough income when you got kids to feed, exwife to pay, new women to keep happy, plus cat and hamster moaning for food.

And before you say it, the cat got one hamster already,..... poor little bugger (right mess.....its not funny).

Teribly made pool...where is option for someone like me who had loss ?

Under 10k would do, right?

"under 10K" and "under 10K and more" would do

 

[Dusk]

Well incredibly it looks as though I'm a comparative high-roller in the 41-50k USD bracket. That is if you remove all the professional Premier League footballers in the 191k+ bracket.

Hello, Ashley Young, have you stopped playing with webcams yet?

 

[Dennis blighter]

Shouldve indicated net or gross income, as that can be substantially different.

My avatar is worth more than a years income for me.. think that says something
