Total tax paid
€ 528
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 258 to pay you € 1,145. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.61 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.6% tax rate now rises to 37.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14% higher than what it seemed at first.
