Total tax paid
€ 5,843
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 10,315. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.66 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
49.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42.4% tax rate now rises to 49.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
