Total tax paid
₱ 1,185
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 721 to pay you ₱ 9,037. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 1.31 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
12.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.1% tax rate now rises to 12.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7% higher than what it seemed at first.
