Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,240 to pay you € 5,500. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.22 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.
Summary
If you make € 66,000 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 26,159. That means that your net pay will be € 39,841 per year, or € 3,320 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.6% and your marginal tax rate is 51.9%. 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 € 51.91, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 48.09.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 481 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 2,405 of net incomes.
