But that's as good as ~60k in a job where you pay taxes
I hope you pay an accountant to do your taxes, because that's way, way off.
If you earn $60k in a state like, NY, your take home amount will be $45,363
CA: $47,763
TX: $49,949
GB: ~£45,000 also
but £60,000 is a lot more than $60,000usd, so I'd expect the overall rate to be higher.
so, while yes, take home would be £45,361, if it were the same...
$60,000usd = £45,575, which take home would be £36,335.40, which in USD would be $47,834
making the two countries basically the exact same for taxes.
