Total tax paid
€ 4 995
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1 079 to pay you € 9 763. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.12 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.1% tax rate now rises to 46.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6% higher than what it seemed at first.
