Total tax paid
£66,337
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £19,502 to pay you £129,584. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.12 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.1% tax rate now rises to 44.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
