Total tax paid
$30,405
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $9,319 to pay you $88,751. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.8% tax rate now rises to 31.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
