Total tax paid
€ 156
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 130 to pay you € 1 474. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
9.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.8% tax rate now rises to 9.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
