Total tax paid
€ 3,644
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,308 to pay you € 5,802. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.28 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.3% tax rate now rises to 51.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11% higher than what it seemed at first.
