Total tax paid
€ 1.78
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 0.90 to pay you € 4. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.44 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.8% tax rate now rises to 36.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
