Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,463 to pay you € 6,652. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.36 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.6% tax rate now rises to 52.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 79,824 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 33,182. That means that your net pay will be € 46,642 per year, or € 3,887 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.6% and your marginal tax rate is 48.7%. 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 € 48.74, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 51.26.
