Total tax paid
€ 2,674
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,014 to pay you € 4,499. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.94 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.9% tax rate now rises to 48.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
