Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.5% tax rate now rises to 45.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 42,372 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 14,183. That means that your net pay will be € 28,189 per year, or € 2,349 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.5% 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 € 45.04, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 54.96.
