Total tax paid
€ 4,493
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 2,330 to pay you € 15,231. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.95 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.2% tax rate now rises to 25.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
