Total tax paid
€ 3,505
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 868 to pay you € 5,707. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.14 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
53.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 46.2% tax rate now rises to 53.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
