Layers of tax and mandatory charges

Employee-facing layers first — these come out of the stated income. Employer social contributions sit beside the stack: they are mandatory, but they are not withheld from the worker.

Marginal calculation

The next CZK of ordinary income. The rate from your pay is personal income tax plus employee social contributions. The last figure also adds what the employer pays on that euro — it is not deducted from the wage.
