Total tax paid
$2,009
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $326 to pay you $6,648. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.02 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.3% tax rate now rises to 28.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
