Total tax paid
S$1,690
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$726 to pay you S$4,267. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.96 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.6% tax rate now rises to 33.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
