Total tax paid
€ 1,980
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 797 to pay you € 3,534. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.7%
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.
