Total tax paid
€ 5 068
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 990 to pay you € 8 959. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.66 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
50.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.5% tax rate now rises to 50.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
