Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 13,311 to pay you € 87,000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.66 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
49.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.3% tax rate now rises to 49.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 87,000 a year living in Luxembourg, you will be taxed € 35,917. That means that your net pay will be € 51,083 per year, or € 4,257 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.3% and your marginal tax rate is 54.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of € 100 in your salary will be taxed € 54.19, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 45.81.
