Total tax paid
₹ 40,410
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.
