Total tax paid
€ 1,139
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 500 to pay you € 2,219. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.13 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.8% tax rate now rises to 41.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
