Total tax paid
€ 452
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 227 to pay you € 1,008. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.48 goes to the government.
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.
