Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 65 to pay you € 2,500. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.77 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.1% tax rate now rises to 36.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 30,000 a year living in Finland, you will be taxed € 10,544. That means that your net pay will be € 19,456 per year, or € 1,621 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.2% and your marginal tax rate is 49.2%. 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 € 49.18, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 50.82.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 508 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 2,541 of net incomes.
