Total tax paid
€ 479
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 230 to pay you € 2 080. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12% tax rate now rises to 20.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
