Total tax paid
€ 858
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 36.11 to pay you € 1,389. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.18 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
60.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 59.2% tax rate now rises to 60.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
