Total tax paid
$2,719
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $709 to pay you $6,749. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.03 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.8% tax rate now rises to 36.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
