Total tax paid
S$1,115
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$498 to pay you S$2,928. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.81 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.1% tax rate now rises to 32.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
