Total tax paid
₱ 3,240
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 865 to pay you ₱ 19,348. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 1.67 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.3% tax rate now rises to 16.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
