Total tax paid
€ 4,004
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 182 to pay you € 6,998. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.72 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
55.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 54.6% tax rate now rises to 55.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
