Total tax paid
S$2,436
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,010 to pay you S$6,094. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$4 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.4% tax rate now rises to 34.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
