Total tax paid
$1,592
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $345 to pay you $6,885. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.31 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.1% tax rate now rises to 22.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
