Total tax paid
S$3,208
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$12,167. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.64 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18% tax rate now rises to 24.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
