Total tax paid
£2,729
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £2,153 to pay you £14,308. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £1.91 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 4% tax rate now rises to 16.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
