Total tax paid
€ 3,538
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,276 to pay you € 5,659. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.25 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40% tax rate now rises to 51.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11% higher than what it seemed at first.
