Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,064 to pay you € 6,955. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.7% tax rate now rises to 48.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 83,460 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 33,999. That means that your net pay will be € 49,461 per year, or € 4,122 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.7% 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 € 54.17, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 45.83.
