Total tax paid
S$2,156
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$906 to pay you S$5,326. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$4.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.5% tax rate now rises to 34.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
