How much does a teacher make per month in the US on average - a teacher for 16-19 year olds. What we call the gymnasium, and I guess you call college?
I am on step 14 in my district (teaching 17 years overall but they didn't take any of my years) and make just under $70,000. My wife in on step 15 (19 years overall and same thing) and makes $73k. It depends on the district and state. After 21 years I'll "top" out making around $102k. We both teach 8th grade across the hall from each other lol.
And how much do you get "in your pocket" after taxes every year?
Right around $40k. just about $2,000 a pay....$4000/month x10 months.
Wait, do I count that correctly - you have like 42 % income tax? 30.000/70.000 = 0,42. Or is my math off...
Union dues, health insurance, disability, federal/State taxes, 403b contributions (voluntary retirement. Like a 401k), family coverage tax, etc
Hmm. Okey, well... over here we don't pay our union/unemployment insurance charges on our taxes.
But my friend, who's a teacher for 16-19 year olds (gymnasium) gets 37.000SEK a month ($4200). So thats $ 50.000 a year. But the income tax here is roughly 25% so that leaves him with $ 37.500. Then if you count the union-things I guess that's like $60 a months maybe... so a bit under $ 37.000 a year. Pretty similar in the end.
Interesting.
Wait, so you’re saying that the total tax rate in Sweden is less than what the amaricans are paying? I’m assuming, so correct me if I’m wrong, that you aren’t paying extra for your health care or other such expenses?
This is interesting, given that one of the big arguments made in the US against socialized health care is that it would lead to massive tax increases.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

Before we make any assumptions let My check my paycheck. I haven’t had a physical paycheck in years so I will check online when I get home.

Yes. Roughly 25 % but it depends on where you live.
And yes, we have tax paid healthcare, tax paid schools (including school lunches) etc.
If you earn more than something like $50k a year you pay an extra 20 % (I think) on the amount being above that limit.
But we also have 25% VAT on goods, 12% VAT on food and hotels and 6% VAT on newspapers/concerts/museums. Im guessing you have a lowers VAT on things. And in general lower prices.

$70k and $73k for 9 months of work - that's pretty good if you ask me.
After 14 and 15 years of work? What is your profession and salary?

Brian schools are old. They need lots of repairs. Never discount the importance of good custodians and secretaries. I sometimes always wondered if schools could function without those positions.

Ah, yes! When I was in elementary school my favorite adult was not any of the 6 teachers I had over the years (though some were good) nor the two principles or the nurse or the secretary. No, my favorite adult was the custodian (he referred to himself as the janitor). His name was Mr. Billwax. He was kind, wise, handy as hell, funny and always took time to talk to us kids.
I'm used to thinking of school board as people a group of people who do the hiring, set school policy, plan events, etc. So I was thinking, how do you maintain a group like that. Ah, but you mean maintaining the school itself. Yes, that is an essential and good job. Bravo and good work!

Yup, the custodians are good people. It's not easy work. Many people think it is. Same as secretaries ... every job within schools are important ...
