Total tax paid
₱ 7,705
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 4,346 to pay you ₱ 29,856. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.58 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.2% tax rate now rises to 22.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
