Total tax paid
₱ 8,061
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 874 to pay you ₱ 37,752. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.14 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19% tax rate now rises to 20.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
