Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.4% tax rate now rises to 44.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 38,712 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 12,535. That means that your net pay will be € 26,177 per year, or € 2,181 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.4% 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.
