Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,296 to pay you € 5,750. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.27 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.2% tax rate now rises to 51.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 69,000 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 27,716. That means that your net pay will be € 41,284 per year, or € 3,440 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.2% 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.
