Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 18,666 to pay you € 122,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.2% tax rate now rises to 52.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 122,000 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 55,116. That means that your net pay will be € 66,884 per year, or € 5,574 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.2% and your marginal tax rate is 55.3%. 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 € 55.25, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 44.75.
