How to read these numbers

These are gross figures: income tax and social contributions come off before payout, leaving roughly 60–65% as net pay for a single person. Only full-time contracts are counted, and the figures describe fully licensed professionals — before your Anerkennung is granted you normally work as an assistant on lower pay.
