Total tax paid
€ 1,170
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 512 to pay you € 2,271. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.15 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29% tax rate now rises to 42.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
