Total tax paid
€ 310
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 168 to pay you € 1 771. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.75 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.1% tax rate now rises to 16.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
