Total tax paid
€ 462
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 223 to pay you € 2 048. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.26 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.7% tax rate now rises to 20.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
