Total tax paid
€ 3,018
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 733 to pay you € 5,378. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.61 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
49.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42.5% tax rate now rises to 49.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
