Total tax paid
€ 2,250
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 884 to pay you € 3,922. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.74 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.8% tax rate now rises to 46.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12% higher than what it seemed at first.
