Total tax paid
£2,172
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £1,980 to pay you £13,154. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £1.65 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.5% tax rate now rises to 14.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
