Total tax paid
€ 5,314
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 2,655 to pay you € 17,355. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.3% tax rate now rises to 26.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
