Total tax paid
₱ 6,501
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 3,617 to pay you ₱ 21,300. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 3.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.5% tax rate now rises to 26.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
