Source: [Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Finanzen/comments/1hnkv4a/abgabenlaststatistik_2025_vorl%C3%A4ufig/) which references [a google sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YgcxQHvMgb63o_qWvigORiHVj4oW77eT/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=104166552385307268353&rtpof=true&sd=true)
Tools: R, data.table, ggplot2
Context: German taxes, healthcare and social contributions have increased in 2025 which is leading to loss of post tax deduction (net) income for people in comparison to 2024.
I have no idea what I am looking at…
All figures are annual I presume, including the loss?
The loss is due to tax changes?
At minimum this require more precise units :
Vertical is monthly or yearly ?
Given the disparity in scales , a % would probably be more meaningful.
A €450/month loss at 60k hurts more than a €800/month at 120k
Another chart could show on the y-axis the net salary as a percentage of the gross salary, and then the chart would include two lines, one for 2024 and one for 2025. Or the y-axis could be in absolute amount instead of percentage, and then the vertical distance between the two lines would show that is shown in OP. That would be a more complete chart.
