Total tax paid
S$2,526
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$6,900. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.66 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.8% tax rate now rises to 31.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
