Total tax paid
$1,648
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $357 to pay you $7,030. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.4% tax rate now rises to 22.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
