Total tax paid
$1,095
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $241 to pay you $5,564. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.97 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.4% tax rate now rises to 18.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
