Total tax paid
€ 3,117
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,148 to pay you € 5,094. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.12 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
49.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.7% tax rate now rises to 49.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
