Total tax paid
€ 80,989
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 3,770 to pay you € 145,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.59 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
54.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 53.3% tax rate now rises to 54.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
