Total tax paid
₹ 5,439
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₹ 2,720 to pay you ₹ 22,664. In other words, every time you spend ₹ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₹ 2.40 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12% tax rate now rises to 21.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
