Total tax paid
€ 35,555
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 77,844. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.57 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.8% tax rate now rises to 44.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
