Total tax paid
€ 14,162
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 923 to pay you € 35,481. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.99 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.3% tax rate now rises to 38.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
