Total tax paid
₱ 10,068
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 874 to pay you ₱ 44,417. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.27 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.7% tax rate now rises to 22.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
