Total tax paid
£80,744
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £23,222 to pay you £154,296. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.23 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.3% tax rate now rises to 45.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
