Total tax paid
€ 5,575
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 2,790 to pay you € 12,376. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.50 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.5% tax rate now rises to 36.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
