Total tax paid
₱ 202
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 117 to pay you ₱ 1,005. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 2.01 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.5% tax rate now rises to 18.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
