Total tax paid
€ 5,768
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 2,830 to pay you € 18,499. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.12 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.9% tax rate now rises to 27.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
