Total tax paid
€ 4,366
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 6,959. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.27 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.7% tax rate now rises to 51.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
