Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $0.12 to pay you $5. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.32 goes to the government.
Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.8% tax rate now rises to 12.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
