Total tax paid
€ 600
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 287 to pay you € 1,275. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.71 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.5% tax rate now rises to 38.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
