Total tax paid
S$17,476
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$7,625 to pay you S$44,820. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.90 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22% tax rate now rises to 33.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
