German salary increase tax burden

so you get a €500 raise on paper, but the employer is really forking out €600 because there's this extra €100 they have to pay as a hidden 20% employer contribution. then after all the taxes and deductions, you're left with €280 in your pocket. so the company spends €600 and you see €280 of it. that's wild on its own, but it hits harder when you remember energy prices are sitting at their highest point across the whole G20 right now.
