Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 5,126 to pay you € 33,500. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.86 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.3% tax rate now rises to 33.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 33,500 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 7,811. That means that your net pay will be € 25,689 per year, or € 2,141 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.3% 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.
