Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 19,890 to pay you € 130,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.11 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
53.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.8% tax rate now rises to 53.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 130,000 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 59,536. That means that your net pay will be € 70,464 per year, or € 5,872 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.8% and your marginal tax rate is 53.9%. 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 € 53.93, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 46.07.
Bonus Example
