Total tax paid
€ 38,873
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 11,031 to pay you € 72,096. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.39 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.6% tax rate now rises to 46.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
