Total tax paid
€ 2,184
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 864 to pay you € 3,831. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.70 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.5% tax rate now rises to 46.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12% higher than what it seemed at first.
