Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,358 to pay you € 6,025. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.32 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.7% tax rate now rises to 51.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 72,300 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 29,429. That means that your net pay will be € 42,871 per year, or € 3,573 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.7% 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.
Bonus Example
