Total tax paid
€ 597
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 179 to pay you € 1,170. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.10 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.7% tax rate now rises to 44.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
