Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 249,999. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.45 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.9% tax rate now rises to 44.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 2,999,988 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 1,318,062. That means that your net pay will be € 1,681,926 per year, or € 140,160 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.9% and your marginal tax rate is 44.0%. 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 € 44, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 56.
