Total tax paid
S$2,447
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,013 to pay you S$6,145. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.98 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.3% tax rate now rises to 34.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
