Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 651 to pay you € 2,887. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.35 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31% tax rate now rises to 43.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 34,644 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 10,727. That means that your net pay will be € 23,917 per year, or € 1,993 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.0% 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
