Total tax paid
€ 3,397
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,233 to pay you € 5,469. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.21 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
50.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.6% tax rate now rises to 50.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
