Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,224 to pay you € 8,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.78 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
50.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42.5% tax rate now rises to 50.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 96,000 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 40,793. That means that your net pay will be € 55,207 per year, or € 4,601 per month. Your average tax rate is 42.5% 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 € 54.19, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 45.81.
Bonus Example
A € 1,000 bonus will generate an extra € 458 of net incomes. A € 5,000 bonus will generate an extra € 2,291 of net incomes.
