Total tax paid
S$1,343
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$592 to pay you S$3,479. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.86 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.6% tax rate now rises to 33.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
