Total tax paid
€ 612
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 292 to pay you € 1,296. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.72 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.7% tax rate now rises to 38.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
