Total tax paid
₱ 10,065
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 5,801 to pay you ₱ 48,700. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.07 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.8% tax rate now rises to 18.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
