Total tax paid
$2,508
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,121 to pay you $20,201. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.24 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
11.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.9% tax rate now rises to 11.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
