There's a huge difference in CoL between the mentioned metro areas. Pretty useless comparison in that regard.

Then good thing the title is honest and explicitly says "salary benchmarks" and not CoL benchmarks. CoL varies from person and lifestyle.

European salary data without taxation and benefits is useless.

Taxation is highly dependent on location and personal factors (single income vs double income household) and other factors that are irrelevant in this context.

Also "benefits" in the American sense aren't really a thing in the EU.

Taxation is kinda relevant because there can be huge differences between countries which translate to what you take home.

For example 80k might sounds good in one country but after tax you might take home less than if you made just 60k in another country.

I don't know "the american sense", but benfits are definetely a thing in Belgium. I think like 60+% of engineers get company cars.

True, but I'm not sure how you'd reflect something like that here tbh.

I assume that cars are not seen as a taxable benefit in Belgium?
