Total tax paid
€ 4,483
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 7,224. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.21 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.8% tax rate now rises to 51.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
