Real tax rate
32.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.7% tax rate now rises to 32.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 5,375 a year living in Finland, you will be taxed € 1,653. That means that your net pay will be € 3,722 per year, or € 310 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.8% and your marginal tax rate is 30.8%. 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 € 30.75, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 69.25.
