Total tax paid
$101
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $32.07 to pay you $1,450. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $0.70 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
6.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 4.8% tax rate now rises to 6.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
