Total tax paid
S$112
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$91.30 to pay you S$535. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
17.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 3.8% tax rate now rises to 17.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
