Total tax paid
S$2,904
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$10,146. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.86 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.6% tax rate now rises to 26.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
