Real tax rate
37.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.9% tax rate now rises to 37.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 12,840 a year living in Greece, you will be taxed € 2,939. That means that your net pay will be € 9,901 per year, or € 825 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.9% and your marginal tax rate is 33.0%. 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 € 33.01, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 66.99.
