Total tax paid
S$3,783
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$15,561. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.8% tax rate now rises to 22.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
