Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 7,512 to pay you € 49,100. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.66 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.3% tax rate now rises to 40.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 49,100 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 15,385. That means that your net pay will be € 33,715 per year, or € 2,810 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.3% and your marginal tax rate is 54.0%. 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 € 53.99, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 46.01.
