It’s way more than “a bit less”. As someone that has had global teams in multiple countries, the country in Europe that approaches USA salaries is Switzerland. The rest in my experience are paid significantly less that their counterparts in the USA. Especially their counterparts in high cost of living areas.

For example, people I was paying $190k in the USA were making around $110 in Europe and this was well before parity - $1.25 per euro, etc.

It’s probably around 50% of an Americans salary today or there about.
