Total tax paid
S$2,470
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$6,254. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.95 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.2% tax rate now rises to 34.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
