In Ontario, it would be about 38%, and that’d include healthcare. Canada is very efficient though. At least a decade ago, Canada’s non-defense spending per person was less than the US’s.
In Germany it would be about 44% total. Of course, in Germany, $200k is a top 2% income. In California it’s only a top 8% income.
That's what's directly taken out of your check right? But how much more do you pay after that in other taxes? And if you go even further, how much higher are the prices of everything that you purchase due to the various taxes involved in their production?
Does your Germany figure include healthcare and church tax? That could push it over 50%. Though church tax is optional and you can go private for healthcare.
If you make $200,000 as a single person in CA, you pay about 35% total of income in taxes. https://www.adp.com/resources/tools/calculators/salary-paych...

Other major taxes are property taxes and sales taxes, which exist in other countries too and aren’t included in the calculation above.
You pay sales tax, but it's less than VAT. You also pay property taxes if you own your home, but I'm guessing that's true in most places too.
