Total tax paid
€ 9,455
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 18,525. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.10 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.1% tax rate now rises to 47.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
