Total tax paid
S$1,844
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$785 to pay you S$4,616. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.99 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.9% tax rate now rises to 34.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
