Total tax paid
€ 16,017
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 5,930 to pay you € 38,755. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.13 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26% tax rate now rises to 35.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
