Total tax paid
€ 740
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 303 to pay you € 2 738. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.70 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16% tax rate now rises to 24.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
