Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 412 to pay you € 1,829. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.98 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.2% tax rate now rises to 40.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 21,948 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 5,980. That means that your net pay will be € 15,968 per year, or € 1,331 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.3% and your marginal tax rate is 34.8%. 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 € 34.78, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 65.22.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 652 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 3,261 of net incomes.
