I have been working as an ACC-controller in Germany for 3 years now.
The gross monthly payment I got was 6500 Euro.
Plus extra money for working on sundays and holidays and nightduties i received an annual salary of 95500 Euro.
After tax approximately 58000 Euro were left.
From that money I had to pay private health-insurance (400/month), other insurances like e.g. loss-of-licence (150/month) and housing (1000/month) and so on...
Cheers!
