Total tax paid
₱ 780
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 447 to pay you ₱ 3,597. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.17 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.3% tax rate now rises to 19.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
