Total tax paid
€ 44 866
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 8 067 to pay you € 73 000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.15 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
55.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 50.4% tax rate now rises to 55.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
