Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 17,561 to pay you ₱ 231,608. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 1.25 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
11.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 4.9% tax rate now rises to 11.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
