Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.3% tax rate now rises to 47.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 48,624 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 17,169. That means that your net pay will be € 31,455 per year, or € 2,621 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.3% 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.
