Compute tax revenue = workforce × average salary × tax rate.

France:
31,491,232 × 29,766 = 937,368,011,712
937,368,011,712 × 0.693 ≈ €649,596,032,116

Germany:
38,844,017 × 32,104 = 1,247,048,321,768
1,247,048,321,768 × 0.452 ≈ €563,665,841,439

Difference: 649,596,032,116 − 563,665,841,439 = €85,930,190,677
