Total tax paid
₱ 4,828
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 2,609 to pay you ₱ 12,826. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 3.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.3% tax rate now rises to 31.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14% higher than what it seemed at first.
