Total tax paid
€ 3,626
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,976 to pay you € 12,914. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.81 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.8% tax rate now rises to 24.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
