Total tax paid
€ 12,915
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 26,388. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.89 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.4% tax rate now rises to 46.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3% higher than what it seemed at first.
