Total tax paid
₱ 602
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 80.68 to pay you ₱ 2,977. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.02 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.5% tax rate now rises to 19.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
