Total tax paid
S$38.85
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$5.35 to pay you S$175. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.22 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.1% tax rate now rises to 21.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
