That is so low! In US, if you are single and make a good salary, you have to pay on average 20% Federal tax. A lot of people also put 10% into their retirement account. And if you live in a high tax State such as California, there is a 10% State tax and 8.7% sales tax for almost anything you buy.
20% Federal tax + 10% State tax + 10% retirement fund +8.7% sales tax = 48.7%. So for every $1 we earned, we really only get $0.51....
