Hello,

I am an American student that is moving to France permanently and will begin work in May 2008. I will live in Paris and expect to earn about 50K euros per year (give or take 10K either way). I am trying to determine how much french income tax I will pay in order to get a "net" income. I know the French tax code is vast and unruly, but does anyone have any estimates as to tax brackets (ie, 20k to 30K pays about 15%, 30 to 40 pays about 25%, etc). I haved lived in Paris and Europe for a number of years, but this is the first time that I will have to pay foreign taxes. Any information is much appreciated, and again, I am looking for a broad estimate, nothing too specific. Also, I am unmarried and have no children, and no other form of income, investments, etc.
