Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 15,746 to pay you ₱ 174,958. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 1.47 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
13.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.7% tax rate now rises to 13.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
