Total tax paid
₱ 28,794
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 17,497 to pay you ₱ 226,980. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 1.27 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
11.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5% tax rate now rises to 11.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
