Total tax paid
€ 37,824
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 2,047 to pay you € 78,748. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.80 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.4% tax rate now rises to 46.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
