Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 208 to pay you € 1,361. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.01 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.8% tax rate now rises to 26.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 16,332 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 2,418. That means that your net pay will be € 13,914 per year, or € 1,159 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.8% and your marginal tax rate is 23.3%. 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 € 23.25, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 76.75.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 768 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 3,838 of net incomes.
