₱ 986
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 575 to pay you ₱ 5,213. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 1.89 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
17.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7.9% tax rate now rises to 17.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
