Total tax paid
₱ 1,610
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 403 to pay you ₱ 9,360. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 1.72 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.9% tax rate now rises to 16.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
