Total tax paid
€ 4,999
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 10.21 to pay you € 10,577. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.73 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 47.2% tax rate now rises to 47.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0% higher than what it seemed at first.
