Total tax paid
S$4,937
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$21,587. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.1% tax rate now rises to 21.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
