Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 357 905 412 to pay you € 3 238 963 000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
56.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 52% tax rate now rises to 56.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 38 867 556 000 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 20 211 115 196. That means that your net pay will be € 18 656 440 804 per year, or € 1 554 703 400 per month. Your average tax rate is 52.0% and your marginal tax rate is 52.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of € 100 in your salary will be taxed € 52, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 48.
