Total tax paid
S$2,552
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$7,125. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.58 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.5% tax rate now rises to 31.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
