Total tax paid
€ 7 894
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1 385 to pay you € 12 531. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
56.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 51.9% tax rate now rises to 56.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
