same as ours, about 45K a year.

It is very hard, if not impossible, to give out any averages, but as a thumb rule, the taxation here is very high anyway.

According to figure published by Statistics Finland (the official public authority on statistics in the country), the average annual income in Finland was 34510 euros (about 42000 dollars) in 2008, while in 2009 it was 35280 euros (just short of 44000 dollars). The average annual income for people in the service sector (i.e. people working in hotels, stores and restaurants) was 34760 euros in 2008. Here's a bunch of statistic lists mainly centered on 2008 figures, though it's all in Finnish (there might similar statistics available in English, if you search around the SF English site): http://www.stat.fi/tup/suoluk/suoluk_palkat.html As for how much taxes “eat up†the income, that depends on several factors (including where one lives), so that’d be a lot harder to find out.
