Real tax rate
38.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25% tax rate now rises to 38.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 16,152 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 4,032. That means that your net pay will be € 12,120 per year, or € 1,010 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.0% and your marginal tax rate is 33.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of € 100 in your salary will be taxed € 33.01, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 66.99.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 670 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 3,350 of net incomes.
