Total tax paid
₹ 3,695
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₹ 1,458 to pay you ₹ 12,154. In other words, every time you spend ₹ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₹ 3.04 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.4% tax rate now rises to 27.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
