Total tax paid
$148
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $22.43 to pay you $1,014. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.46 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.4% tax rate now rises to 14.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
