Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 580 to pay you € 2,575. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.26 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.1% tax rate now rises to 42.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 30,900 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 9,294. That means that your net pay will be € 21,606 per year, or € 1,800 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.1% and your marginal tax rate is 38.3%. 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 € 38.26, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 61.74.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 617 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 3,087 of net incomes.
