Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 371 to pay you € 2,427. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.64 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.1% tax rate now rises to 31.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 29,124 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 6,132. That means that your net pay will be € 22,992 per year, or € 1,916 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.1% and your marginal tax rate is 33.9%. 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 € 33.91, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 66.09.
