Total tax paid
€ 2,677
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1,529 to pay you € 9,996. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.68 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.5% tax rate now rises to 23.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
