Total tax paid
€ 15,953
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,012 to pay you € 38,940. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.10 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.4% tax rate now rises to 39.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
