Total tax paid
S$9,785
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$4,447 to pay you S$26,112. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.75 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.4% tax rate now rises to 32.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
