Total tax paid
₱ 8,475
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 4,819 to pay you ₱ 34,900. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.5% tax rate now rises to 21.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
