Total tax paid
€ 213
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 140 to pay you € 1 588. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
12.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 4.6% tax rate now rises to 12.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
