This percentage is higher than the average in the 38 OECD countries, which is 34.8%.
The burden comes mainly from the employee’s and employer’s insurance contributions, which reach 11.3% and 18.2%, respectively, while only 8.9% is the burden from income tax, compared to 13.3% which is the OECD average.
The total burden for families with children in our country, where both parents work, is the 7th highest in OECD countries, as it amounts to 37.5%, compared to 29.5% of the OECD average.
For a married couple with two children, where only one spouse works and earns the average wage, the tax wedge was slightly smaller, at 37.1%, than the worker without children, an increase of 0.73 percentage points compared by 2022. In OECD countries, the average burden for a matched couple was much lower, at 25.7%.
