Total tax paid
E£ 1,000
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer E£ 591 to pay you E£ 3,154. In other words, every time you spend E£ 10 of your hard-earned money, E£ 3.17 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13% tax rate now rises to 26.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
