Total tax paid
S$1,976
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$836 to pay you S$4,916. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$4.02 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.2% tax rate now rises to 34.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
