Real tax rate
36.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.1% tax rate now rises to 36.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 11,880 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 2,631. That means that your net pay will be € 9,249 per year, or € 771 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.1% and your marginal tax rate is 25.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of € 100 in your salary will be taxed € 25.83, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 74.17.
