Total tax paid
€ 1,100
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 486 to pay you € 2,155. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.10 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.5% tax rate now rises to 41.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
