€ 2,768
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,042 to pay you € 4,625. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.99 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.3% tax rate now rises to 48.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
