Total tax paid
€ 157
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 130 to pay you € 1 478. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
9.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.8% tax rate now rises to 9.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
