Total tax paid
€ 8,546
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 16,458. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.19 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43% tax rate now rises to 47.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
