Total tax paid
S$3,028
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$10,969. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.3% tax rate now rises to 25.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7% higher than what it seemed at first.
