Total tax paid
S$2,595
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$7,497. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.46 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21% tax rate now rises to 30.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
