Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 499,493. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44% tax rate now rises to 44.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 5,993,916 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 2,635,391. That means that your net pay will be € 3,358,525 per year, or € 279,877 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.0% and your marginal tax rate is 44.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of € 100 in your salary will be taxed € 44, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 56.
