Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $196 to pay you $5,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.83 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.4% tax rate now rises to 27.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
