Total tax paid
S$2,541
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$7,034. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.61 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.6% tax rate now rises to 31.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
