€ 3,032
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,122 to pay you € 4,979. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
49.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.4% tax rate now rises to 49.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
