Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 5,508 to pay you € 35,999. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.99 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.6% tax rate now rises to 34.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 35,999 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 8,851. That means that your net pay will be € 27,148 per year, or € 2,262 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.6% and your marginal tax rate is 44.9%. 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 € 44.85, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 55.15.
