Total tax paid
₱ 10,205
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 5,888 to pay you ₱ 49,800. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.7% tax rate now rises to 18.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
