Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 25,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.92 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.4% tax rate now rises to 46.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 300,000 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 130,068. That means that your net pay will be € 169,932 per year, or € 14,161 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.4% 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.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 560 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 2,800 of net incomes.
