26%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.1% tax rate now rises to 26%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.

Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 25.1% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 38.7%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux.
