Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 676 to pay you € 26,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.69 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.3% tax rate now rises to 35.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 26,000 a year living in Finland, you will be taxed € 8,910. That means that your net pay will be € 17,090 per year, or € 1,424 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.3% and your marginal tax rate is 40.9%. 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 € 40.86, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 59.14.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 591 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 2,957 of net incomes.
