Total tax paid
€ 92,890
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 21,237 to pay you € 155,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.99 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 46.2% tax rate now rises to 52.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
