Real tax rate
39.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.8% tax rate now rises to 39.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 17,988 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 4,638. That means that your net pay will be € 13,350 per year, or € 1,112 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.8% 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.
