Total tax paid
S$972
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$438 to pay you S$2,574. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.77 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.7% tax rate now rises to 32.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
