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 € 34,848 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 10,805. That means that your net pay will be € 24,043 per year, or € 2,004 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
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.
