Total tax paid
€ 313
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 77.98 to pay you € 511. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.12 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
53.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 46% tax rate now rises to 53.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
