Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 84.15 to pay you € 550. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.64 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.1% tax rate now rises to 22.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 550 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 60.78. That means that your net pay will be € 489 per year, or € 40.77 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.1% and your marginal tax rate is 11.1%. 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 € 11.05, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 88.95.
Bonus Example
