Total tax paid
S$2,558
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$7,176. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.56 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.4% tax rate now rises to 31.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
