Total tax paid
€ 1,699
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 703 to pay you € 3,119. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.45 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.9% tax rate now rises to 44.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
