Total tax paid
₱ 8,455
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 4,809 to pay you ₱ 34,400. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.46 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.6% tax rate now rises to 21.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11% higher than what it seemed at first.
