Total tax paid
€ 15,094
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 5,695 to pay you € 37,221. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.3% tax rate now rises to 35.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
