Good afternoon!
We are a mixed family, dad is Russian with a German passport, wife and children are Dutch. Dad got a job at Aachen University (roughly 65K Brutto). Where are we better off in terms of taxes and housing costs? in Germany or Holland? There is no home, but there is capital (approximately 300K-400K), which is enough to buy an average house.
Life is more expensive in Holland, there are more taxes (the same 1.3% on capital), the car is more expensive.
But in Holland in the Heerlen area, house prices are 100K cheaper than in Aachen. What does your intuition tell you?

It's hard to advise without knowing your entire situation. Where will dad live during the work week? How often do you visit doctors and social events? This is not just moving to another city, this is emigration - a change of country.
Taking into account the fact that children probably go to a Dutch school, and mom is more accustomed to staying in nl, then I would proceed from these conditions, and not from taxes.
If you decide to stay in NL, the Pope's German income will not be taxed here under the double taxation law.
It is not possible to carry out a comparative analysis in numbers, since I have no information about German taxes.
