Total tax paid
€ 5,229
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,465 to pay you € 8,920. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.86 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
50.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42.2% tax rate now rises to 50.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
