Total tax paid
S$2,825
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$9,501. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.97 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19% tax rate now rises to 26.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
