Total tax paid
€ 429
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 217 to pay you € 962. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.46 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22% tax rate now rises to 36.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
