Total tax paid
€ 744
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 346 to pay you € 1,534. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.85 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26% tax rate now rises to 39.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
