Total tax paid
S$2,844
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$9,664. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.94 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.9% tax rate now rises to 26.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
