Total tax paid
€ 72,719
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 18,436 to pay you € 120,494. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.04 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.1% tax rate now rises to 52.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
