Total tax paid
€ 5,213
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,353 to pay you € 8,840. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.90 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.7% tax rate now rises to 51.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
