Total tax paid
€ 2,931
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,092 to pay you € 4,844. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
49.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38% tax rate now rises to 49.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
