€ 2,865
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,072 to pay you € 4,755. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.03 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
49.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.7% tax rate now rises to 49.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
