Total tax paid
€ 881
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 401 to pay you € 1,777. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.96 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 40.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
