Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 7,650 to pay you € 50,000. In other words, every time you spend €10 of your hard-earned money, €4.7 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.7% tax rate now rises to 40.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make € 50,000 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 15,871. That means that your net pay will be € 34,129 per year, or € 2,844 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.7% and your marginal tax rate is 54.2%. 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 €54.2, hence, your net pay will only increase by €45.8.
