Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,342 to pay you € 5,955. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.31 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.6% tax rate now rises to 51.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 71,460 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 28,993. That means that your net pay will be € 42,467 per year, or € 3,539 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.6% 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 € 51.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 48.10.
