Total tax paid
S$2,488
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$6,514. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.82 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.5% tax rate now rises to 33.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
