I calculated the living expenses and savings ratio for every country that has an Amazon SDE 2 role on levels.fyi.

For instance, for food I used the Big Mac Index, and got data from various sources on the Internet.

I did some spot checking of minimum wage employees, the trend seems to apply to them too, although I haven't checked in more detail.

Missing Metrics: - Cost Of Education - Healthcare - Ease Of Switching Jobs

All three of these metrics are complicated to measure due to the different preferences that people have.

uh,,, dude you are wrongly calculating taxes. income tax is never a flat 30% or whatever. it is always staggered. marginally this looks to me the WORST or maximum rate that can be paid and not the lowest.

dublin rates dont make sense, are people doing double jobs to sustain life?

They are living in some very tiny house. Housing is the highest expenditure present.

I calculated the rates for 111 square meters.
