Total tax paid
€ 5,214
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 2,616 to pay you € 17,100. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.2% tax rate now rises to 26.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
