Total tax paid
₱ 126
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 69.73 to pay you ₱ 1,050. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 1.20 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
11.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.3% tax rate now rises to 11.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
