Total tax paid
€ 34,638
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 10,098 to pay you € 66,001. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.25 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.2% tax rate now rises to 45.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
