We all seem to complain about paying tax.
Have you ever wondered how your own situation, your take home pay after tax, compares to workers in other parts of the world?
Well you're about to find out... 
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) tracks both the average wage earnings and taxation figures for each of its 35-member countries.
Gross earnings refer to the amount of money you get paid before anything gets taken out, like taxes, health insurance and retirement contributions.
The remainder is referred to as net earnings.
HowMuch.net used these numbers to create a pie chart.
The overall size of each slice refers to the level of gross earnings, and the green portion represents net income after taxes.
