Total tax paid
€ 413
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 205 to pay you € 1 959. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.11 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.6% tax rate now rises to 19.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
