What €40,000 a year is actually made of

On a gross salary of €40,000 in Greece, the deductions are Income Tax (Φόρος Εισοδήματος) €6,758 and EFKA (Social Insurance) €5,348.

Effective rate against marginal rate

Two different rates matter here, and they are easy to confuse. The effective rate of 30.3% is the average cost of every unit of pay across the whole salary. The marginal rate is what the next slice of pay is charged at — around 44.6% on the next €1,000 of gross. The marginal rate is the higher of the two, because the lower bands have already been taxed at less. It is the marginal rate, not the effective rate, that decides what a pay rise is actually worth.

Every figure on this page comes from the same calculation engine that runs the calculator itself, so this hub and the individual salary pages it links to cannot disagree with one another.
