Total tax paid
S$185
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$108 to pay you S$629. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.94 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.2% tax rate now rises to 25.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
