Depends on if you account for just tax, or tax, soli, social security, and given it is baveria - church tax. Some back of the envelope calculations would put the effective rate for tax+soli+church at ~25%. Add another 20% for social security to make that 45%. The marginal rate would be something like 42% tax + 5.5% soli * .42 + 8% church * .42 ~= 47% The socials include pension+unemployment+healthcare+long-term-care
