Real tax rate
48.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.5% tax rate now rises to 48.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 52,656 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 19,232. That means that your net pay will be € 33,424 per year, or € 2,785 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.5% and your marginal tax rate is 51.9%. 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 € 51.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 48.10.
