Real tax rate
35.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.1% tax rate now rises to 35.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 37,003 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 9,302. That means that your net pay will be € 27,701 per year, or € 2,308 per month.
