42.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29% tax rate now rises to 42.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 27,216 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 7,887. That means that your net pay will be € 19,329 per year, or € 1,611 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.0% 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 € 38.16, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 61.84.
