Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 19,584 to pay you € 128,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.6% tax rate now rises to 52.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 128,000 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 58,431. That means that your net pay will be € 69,569 per year, or € 5,797 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.7% 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.
