Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₹ 425,568 to pay you ₹ 3,546,400. In other words, every time you spend ₹ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₹ 6.24 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
55.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 50.4% tax rate now rises to 55.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₹ 42,556,800 a year living in India, you will be taxed ₹ 21,460,218. That means that your net pay will be ₹ 21,096,582 per year, or ₹ 1,758,049 per month. Your average tax rate is 50.4% and your marginal tax rate is 51.0%. 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 ₹ 51, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₹ 49.
