Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 117 to pay you € 520. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.44 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.8% tax rate now rises to 36.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 6,240 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 1,363. That means that your net pay will be € 4,877 per year, or € 406 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.9% and your marginal tax rate is 21.9%. 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 € 21.85, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 78.15.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 782 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 3,908 of net incomes.
