Total tax paid
$1,019
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $268 to pay you $5,675. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.80 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
17.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.2% tax rate now rises to 17.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
