Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₹ 20,550 to pay you ₹ 171,249. In other words, every time you spend ₹ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₹ 2.40 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12% tax rate now rises to 21.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₹ 171,249 a year living in India, you will be taxed ₹ 20,550. That means that your net pay will be ₹ 150,699 per year, or ₹ 12,558 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.0% and your marginal tax rate is 12.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of ₹ 100 in your salary will be taxed ₹ 12, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₹ 88.
