Total tax paid
€ 5 363
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1 143 to pay you € 10 346. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.18 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.8% tax rate now rises to 46.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
