Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 500 to pay you € 2,220. 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.
Summary
If you make € 26,640 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 7,668. That means that your net pay will be € 18,972 per year, or € 1,581 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.8% and your marginal tax rate is 38.2%. 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 € 38.17, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 61.83.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 618 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 3,092 of net incomes.
