Total tax paid
S$596
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$235 to pay you S$1,710. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.49 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.1% tax rate now rises to 30.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
