Total tax paid
€ 7,195
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 3,348 to pay you € 21,880. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.6% tax rate now rises to 28.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
