Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,770 to pay you € 12,480. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.04 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 46.2% tax rate now rises to 52.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 149,760 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 69,242. That means that your net pay will be € 80,518 per year, or € 6,710 per month. Your average tax rate is 46.2% and your marginal tax rate is 44.2%. 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 € 44.20, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 55.80.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 558 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 2,790 of net incomes.
