Total tax paid
€ 876
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 336 to pay you € 3 042. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.88 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.8% tax rate now rises to 25.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
