Real tax rate
36.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.3% tax rate now rises to 36.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 12,096 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 2,693. That means that your net pay will be € 9,403 per year, or € 784 per month.

For instance, an increase of € 100 in your salary will be taxed € 33.02, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 66.98.
