Total tax paid
S$2,495
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$6,607. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.78 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.3% tax rate now rises to 32.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
