Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₹ 9,600 to pay you ₹ 80,000. In other words, every time you spend ₹ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₹ 5.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.5% tax rate now rises to 45.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₹ 4,160,000 a year living in India, you will be taxed ₹ 1,602,120. That means that your net pay will be ₹ 2,557,880 per year, or ₹ 213,157 per month. Your average tax rate is 38.5% 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.
Bonus Example
A ₹ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₹ 568 of net incomes. A ₹ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₹ 2,840 of net incomes.
