Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 873 to pay you € 3,875. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.72 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.7% tax rate now rises to 46.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 46,500 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 16,113. That means that your net pay will be € 30,387 per year, or € 2,532 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.7% and your marginal tax rate is 49.7%. 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 € 49.74, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 50.26.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 503 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 2,513 of net incomes.
