    This is social security,

    A big reason US taxes seem lower is because there are so many different taxes and we usually don’t aggregate

    Google says you’re specifying the Dutch income tax rate, so it’s not comparable and the Dutch social security tax’s is “only” 27.5%

      your “only” is doing some heavy lifting there :) but of course i wouldn’t have it any other way.
