Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 2,827 to pay you ₱ 16,055. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 3.23 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.7% tax rate now rises to 27.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
