Total tax paid
$20.35
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4.47 to pay you $105. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.94 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.1% tax rate now rises to 18.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
