A place you can look for some basic info is http://www.destatis.de/e_home.htm
However, the data regarding salaries/wages is usually not represented
in the form that you are looking for and would require actual access
to the German Census files themselves - and then a bit of fiddling in
Excel to obtain the averages for each age category. I can also tell
you that such information comes at a cost, usually some form of
subscription service or fee per database. I'm not sure how it works in
Germany, but I know that many Universities in Canada and the USA hold
subscription services to National Census offices (such as Stats Can)
that allow students free access. In research that I carried out for my
dissertation, I required educational and wage statistics for Israel -
I simply contacted a number of economic departments at Israeli
Universities requesting assistance in collecting this data. You could
always do the same, here is a listing of German Universities:

Further, if you do find the data you require (as opposed to a set of
definitive answers) and are hoping to determine the post-tax salaries,
there is a link below which includes information regarding national
income tax schemes in Germany. The authors of this pamphlet were kind
enough to compile a progressive listing of the separate brackets with
the full tax burden already calculated rather than leaving that to the
reader.

This is only for National Income Tax, however the resulting post tax
salaries are often used as a proxy for disposable income in many
studies. |
