Total tax paid
$1,746
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $326 to pay you $6,643. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.63 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.4% tax rate now rises to 25.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
