Looks like you have to start the poll tag on a new line, also, the “\>” of the last bullet point is causing troubles, I’d use “less than 25K” and “more than 175K” for those two. I’d also add the “175K-250K” and “250K-500K” along with the “more than 500K” categories. A “already retired :-)” option would also be nice.

I know like four different types of income, which one we put? Also for couples, my personal or total of the household?

Shall we brag and go for the grossest of them all? Gross income + employer’s contribution to the pension plan? And the personal one, not together with a partner.

Lets just do personal total comp, so gross salary + avg. bonus?

me too, so we’re talking TTC before Taxes and deductions → So what is stated in your work-contract and not your taxable income, correct?
- For part-timers, do we add the paid salary or should we use the 100% figure to make it comparable?

Surely not, we are not comparing different positions.

If this poll has any use, I’d say it’s to contextualize the messages we are reading here to help us ponder how to apply them to our own situation so, for me, it’s really the collected income that matters (not how successful in life we are -in which case, @Yanikuza’s girfriend and two cats take the pot ^^-). I’d use gross salary for simplicity (it’s hard to compare social benefits, including the 2nd pillar). I’ve answered with gross in mind but would net at the same place using my net salary.

I’ve used my last TTC, although at the moment it’s actually close to 0 (sweet sweet unemployment) 🙂

And I would argue that salary + any social benefits is what one should compare if one chooses between job offers. And I am not even saying about the quality of the pension fund. We heard quite a lot about good and bad pension funds. But if people want to compare gross salaries, fine with me.

Net income (pre-tax, incl. bonus) + total pension fund contributions (Altersgutschriften) would seem reasonable to me, although that’s not a commonly used number.
