Total tax paid
€ 15,177
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 973 to pay you € 37,440. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.9% tax rate now rises to 39.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
