Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 4,743 to pay you € 31,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.73 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22% tax rate now rises to 32.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 31,000 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 6,824. That means that your net pay will be € 24,176 per year, or € 2,015 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.0% and your marginal tax rate is 39.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of € 100 in your salary will be taxed € 39.49, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 60.51.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 605 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 3,026 of net incomes.
