Total tax paid
S$2,674
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$8,183. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.27 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.2% tax rate now rises to 29.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
