Three things, in Slovakia
Apple has no online store in Slovakia, so no Apple price.
And you?
I take home a year.
That is the average worker's, after tax. Put in yours for a year, bonuses and extra months' pay included, and the card and the list redo the sums. It stays on this page.
The sums
The average full-time worker in Slovakia earns €19,590 a year before tax and takes home €14,835 after income tax and social security contributions (OECD, 2025, a single worker without children). Divided by 2,080 working hours, an hour of work pays €7.13.
A Tesla Model Y: €40,990 ÷ €7.13 = 5,749 hours. Two whole working years, and the next until early October.
A Big Mac: €5 ÷ €7.13 = 0.70 hours, or 42 minutes.
The Tesla: before Tesla's €980 destination and documentation fee (€41,970 in all). Hours count 52 weeks of 40, whatever people in Slovakia actually work. More in what the index leaves out.
