Total tax paid
€ 6,681
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 3,168 to pay you € 20,704. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.23 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17% tax rate now rises to 28.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11% higher than what it seemed at first.
