Total tax paid
€ 35,630
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,456 to pay you € 55,988. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.36 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
62.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 61% tax rate now rises to 62.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
