Total tax paid
S$1,257
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$510 to pay you S$3,396. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.70 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22% tax rate now rises to 32.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
