Total tax paid
€ 3,771
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 173 to pay you € 6,645. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.68 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
55.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 54.2% tax rate now rises to 55.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
