Total tax paid
€ 145
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 127 to pay you € 1 438. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.01 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
9.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.3% tax rate now rises to 9.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
