Total tax paid
S$2,732
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$8,693. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.14 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.7% tax rate now rises to 28.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
