In Belgium average tech job salary is 36K to 87K EUR/year (from this source [1], it's just one source but it's just to back up my experience, also it really leans much more to the 36K, 87K sounds like too much), before taxes

It's mind boggling how much higher salaries in the US are.

That total compensation figure includes both salary and benefits (healthcare, retirement income, etc.) before taxes. A family healthcare plan could have an annual employer cost of $25k or more, plus the employee contribution.

UPS provides a breakdown for the previous $145k figure here: https://about.ups.com/us/en/our-company/great-employer/real-...
