The first €11,294 is tax-free. Income is then taxed at 11%, 30%, 41% and 45%. Employee social contributions of roughly 22% are deducted from gross pay. The figures assume a single person with one tax share (part fiscale). Your marginal rate is 30% — every additional €1 you earn keeps roughly €0.70 after tax and social.
