Total tax paid
S$178
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$106 to pay you S$620. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.86 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.5% tax rate now rises to 24.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13% higher than what it seemed at first.
