Total tax paid
S$758
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$235 to pay you S$2,924. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.59 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.9% tax rate now rises to 24.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
