80,000 Euro per year is 6,667 Euro per month (gross).
For a married person (if he/she is the single earner) there will be a deduction for income tax of 1,038 Euro and for social insurance (health, pension, unemployment) of 1,166 Euro. Thus net will be 4,464 Euro per month. (Average income in Germany in 2021 is about 46,000 Euro gross per year / 3,830 Euro gross per month) An income of 80,000 Euro gross per year / 6,667 Euro gross per month / 4,464 Euro net per month allows for a very comfortable style of living for two people.
Thanks
food/transportation for 3-4 people under 1000 per month.
Utilities, heating ect is crazy. Depends on insulation, heating machine in the building and your consumption. Can get up to 500 per month.
Total: your basics are covered with 1000 + 1000 + 500; Add up 500 because "you used to live more luxury than me". From 77k you will have over 4000 on hands (tax class 3 while wife will stay on tax class 5). So, you get 1000 leftover per month.
Good luck.
Regarding 100k contract - awesome, but I guess you lived life and will not accept described above lifestyle and may be willing to live in walking distance to work...
Your netto income can be calculated here: https://www.bbx.de/grossnet-wage-calculator-germany/
You have tax class 1 if single. Family will have tax total count = 8.
Tax class 3 for you if you wife is in Germany and earns nothing to little - she get class 5 (3+5 = 8). If you earn similar income you would like to take class 4 each (4+4 = 8).
I moved into little town not far from Frankfurt. Been in Franfurt. Living cost above is my experience - exactly same as in my town "Lidl, Aldi for food. C&A; H&M for cloth" exact prices. Regarding rent I know from my freinds living there and from browsing internet.
Look at death rate in Germany compared to other contries due to current pandemic. Checked out? Now you know why your taxes are so high. I mean it worth it to pay. You get social coverage in return.
