Total tax paid
S$236
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$119 to pay you S$695. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.39 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.8% tax rate now rises to 29.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
