I am trying to find out a way to compare my current NET income to what I could potentially NET back home. All of the salary comparison websites do not accurately calculate my tax exemption status and cost of living (lower) here in Germany.

My guess is that I’ll need to almost double my salary as I’m not paying most taxes here in Germany. Here’s some more info about my situation.

1. Income tax exemption – I don’t pay US or German income taxes. I’m exempt from both. I’m not paying US state income taxes either. This probably saves me at least 30% every year.

2. Sales taxes – I only pay sales taxes when I eat at a restaurant or shop for groceries on the economy (a german grocery store). I mostly shop at the commissary on base…and they sell everything at cost…you can’t get groceries cheaper anywhere else. All other goods (utilities, clothing, cars, electronics, etc) are tax exempt. I prepay for gasoline (current US national average price without sales tax).

Any suggestions?
I’m not a GS employee (civil servant) or in the military. I work for a private contractor. I file the 2555 with my 1040 every year. My taxable income is just below the allowed amount.

I am paying Social Security and Medicare.
I also have 3 dependents. My wife also works for a private contractor and is tax exempt.
I file EXEMPT on my W4. That way taxes are not taken from my paycheck. That’s what we call exempt status here. Call it what you want. We’re given a 3 month extension to file for being overseas.

I want to establish combined Shopping & Price comparison website in UK.So far I have done my research for this project ,registered relavant domains and made a Trade Mark as well to make sure nobody can use the name and idea because it’s an online business.My Trade mark,activities,sequence of words are uniquely associated.I am very sure and confident that my idea will be very successfull in price comparison business.I don’t have that much investment or any source to make the website to start the business.Also I don’t have any contact to get someone invest in my idea.I know there is a programme called ‘Dragons Den’ on BBC three.Dragons invest money in new product or idea or business but it is realy hard to get into that programme first of all also they like to invest small money in a business.They seemed like not interested in investing in a new idea because of risk.My research work says that my idea needsa very big money to start the business with(Huge search engine software development and maintainence,designing website,advertising on electronic media etc).I know the business will worth more than Million in futere.Could anyone tell me how can I get investor’s attention to invest in my idea? or also is there any organisation who invests in peoples idea?Thanks

I did a lot of comparison shopping but the party there is very expensive. It cost me $400 for one night. I think it was worth it but how can I explain this to my terrible wife?
