Total tax paid
S$157
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$102 to pay you S$594. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.65 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.3% tax rate now rises to 22.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
