Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₹ 2,415 to pay you ₹ 20,122. In other words, every time you spend ₹ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₹ 5.36 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.6% tax rate now rises to 47.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₹ 5,231,720 a year living in India, you will be taxed ₹ 2,177,001. That means that your net pay will be ₹ 3,054,719 per year, or ₹ 254,560 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.6% and your marginal tax rate is 69.3%. 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 ₹ 69.34, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₹ 30.66.
Bonus Example
A ₹ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₹ 307 of net incomes. A ₹ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₹ 1,533 of net incomes.
