Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 728 to pay you € 28,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.73 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.7% tax rate now rises to 36.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 28,000 a year living in Finland, you will be taxed € 9,727. That means that your net pay will be € 18,273 per year, or € 1,523 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.7% 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.
