Total tax paid
€ 4,902
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 2,493 to pay you € 16,293. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.01 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.8% tax rate now rises to 26.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
