Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: DBA's salary range for Down Under
With all do respect to Americans the Canadian government
does handle retirement better. And all though taxes
are quite brutal it does buy something's. I never have
to worry about going to ANY hospital and worry about being
rejected. Its a lot easier to find a company that deals
with 100% coverage for medical since it does not cost them
as much. Of course I would rather pay less taxes and some
kind of system in the middle between the States and Canada
would probably be ideal, it just probably will never happen.

Subject: RE: DBA's salary range for Down Under
Can I add another factor - taxes.
Canadians pay 40% income tax and 15% tax on purchases, as well as property tax. The government is less and less forthcoming with relief on public transportation costs.
Thus, in Toronto,
Average DBA salary = $75K Taxes = $30K
The rest you can live on. Or whatever.
(P.S. Save up for retirement, the government is not going to handle
that well either).
(P.P.S. Don't Aussie's pay even more tax?).

Hi All,
Having worked (and lived) in all of the following places
here is a rough chart of quality of life for an equivalent
income. Highest at the top, almost poverty level at
the bottom.
Calgary and San Antonio are almost equal in
quality of life per currency unit
Very good lifestyle:
Calgary, Alberta, Canada: $CAN72000 = $US50000
San Antonio, Texas, US: $US72000 = $US72000
Toronto, Ontario, Canada: $CAN72000 = $US50000
London, England: #720000 = $US150000
San Francisco, California, US: $US72000
Poverty
(No English pound sign on my keyboard :{ )
As Rachel and Dick said, it is not how much you get that matters,
it is how much it can buy. Housing and the cost of transportation
are the two biggest factors to check when considering relocating.
Also, the type of lifestyle should be considered. Walt (Weaver)
and I would go crazy in NYC (I am close to insane in Silicon
Valley, as it is) while Rachel would probably die of boredom
in Bozeman, Montana.
(If not true Rachel, please forgive me, I just needed an example)
