Total tax paid
£73,527
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £21,359 to pay you £141,917. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.18 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.8% tax rate now rises to 45.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
