Total tax paid
₹ 16,715
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₹ 5,400 to pay you ₹ 45,000. In other words, every time you spend ₹ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₹ 3.71 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.1% tax rate now rises to 33.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
