Total tax paid
€ 227
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 142 to pay you € 1 615. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.40 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
12.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.2% tax rate now rises to 12.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
