Total tax paid
€ 538
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 262 to pay you € 1,164. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.62 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.7% tax rate now rises to 37.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14% higher than what it seemed at first.
