Total tax paid
€ 12,694
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 525 to pay you € 20,209. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.28 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
61.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 60.2% tax rate now rises to 61.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
