Summary
If you make € 16,344 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 4,096. That means that your net pay will be € 12,248 per year, or € 1,021 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.1% 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 € 33.02, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 66.98.
