In contrast to a capitalist society, how does a person's income function in a socialist society?

A persons income functions similarly in both capitalists and socialist societies today. "Socialism" as an idea or theoretical economic model has not been fully implemented in most societies that use some socialist concepts. In European countries like France, Sweden, or Denmark they use both principles of capitalism and socialism. In that they are integrated into the global economy and take part in trade and also regular business they are capitalists, however, they have large social protections in the form of government services etc. which are paid for with high taxes. The major difference in incomes in these two systems are that in capitalist societies tend to have lower taxes than socialist societies, but give less state services or welfare than socialist societies.

In a socialist society, a person's income is regulated by the government to promote equality, with higher taxes on the wealthy to fund public services. This contrasts with capitalism, where income is determined by individual productivity and competition in the market. Socialism emphasizes collective ownership and aims to ensure that basic needs are met for all citizens.
