Total tax paid
₱ 7,123
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 3,993 to pay you ₱ 25,458. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.80 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.3% tax rate now rises to 24.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
