Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₹ 242,400 to pay you ₹ 2,020,000. In other words, every time you spend ₹ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₹ 4.55 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.5% tax rate now rises to 40.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₹ 2,020,000 a year living in India, you will be taxed ₹ 677,640. That means that your net pay will be ₹ 1,342,360 per year, or ₹ 111,863 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.6% and your marginal tax rate is 43.2%. 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 ₹ 43.20, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₹ 56.80.
