Total tax paid
€ 4,255
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 2,234 to pay you € 14,602. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.91 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.8% tax rate now rises to 25.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
