Total tax paid
€ 37,411
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 10,709 to pay you € 69,992. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.35 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.2% tax rate now rises to 46.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
