Total tax paid
$1,788
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $347 to pay you $6,907. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.59 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.9% tax rate now rises to 24.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
