Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 5,071 to pay you ₱ 39,542. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.25 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.7% tax rate now rises to 19.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
