E£ 275
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer E£ 170 to pay you E£ 1,457. In other words, every time you spend E£ 10 of your hard-earned money, E£ 1.89 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7.3% tax rate now rises to 16.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
