Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 935 to pay you € 4,150. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.82 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.7% tax rate now rises to 47.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 49,800 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 17,754. That means that your net pay will be € 32,046 per year, or € 2,670 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.7% 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
