Total tax paid
$36.76
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $21.44 to pay you $904. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $0.41 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
4.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.7% tax rate now rises to 4.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
