Total tax paid
€ 15,473
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 5,791 to pay you € 37,851. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.6% tax rate now rises to 35.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
