Total tax paid
₱ 8,627
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 4,904 to pay you ₱ 37,440. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.9% tax rate now rises to 20.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
