How does PhD candidate salary compares between differen European countries, and the USA?

Question

I would like to know which is the salary average of a PhD candidate position in chemistry in different countries of Europe or in USA.

I know that in Germany and France the salaries are around 1300€ after tax and in Spain, Italy and Portugal around 900€ (correct me if I´m wrong).

In Italy the PhD scholarship depends on the university and can range from about 1000 €/month to about 1500 €/month. — Massimo Ortolano, Jan 24 '16 at 16:09

I find this to be an OK question. Possibly a bit broad but there is nothing on our site now about this exact question, and I think well-documented answers would be useful to the community. — Cape Code, Jan 25 '16 at 13:50
Yes, but the problem is that the data quickly becomes stale and there's too much variance. For example, in the USA it ranges from -$40,000 (you pay the school tuition) to $30,000 (tuition waiver + full stipend). We could post 2015 data here, but it'd be useless by 2020 (which is why StackExchange as a whole shies away from this kind of thing). — RoboKaren, Jan 25 '16 at 17:15
