Total tax paid
€ 507
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 227 to pay you € 1,005. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.9% tax rate now rises to 41.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
