Total tax paid
₱ 2,771
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 841 to pay you ₱ 17,600. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 1.57 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
15.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11% tax rate now rises to 15.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4% higher than what it seemed at first.
