Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,003 to pay you € 4,450. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.93 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.7% tax rate now rises to 48.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 53,400 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 19,618. That means that your net pay will be € 33,782 per year, or € 2,815 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.7% 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 € 51.91, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 48.09.
Bonus Example
