Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 692 to pay you € 3,070. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.7% tax rate now rises to 44.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 36,840 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 11,692. That means that your net pay will be € 25,148 per year, or € 2,096 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.7% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. 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 € 45.03, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 54.97.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 550 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 2,749 of net incomes.
