Total tax paid
$736
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $97.28 to pay you $1,600. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.9% tax rate now rises to 43.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
