Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₱ 2,535 to pay you ₱ 5,341. In other words, every time you spend ₱ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₱ 8.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
59.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.1% tax rate now rises to 59.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
