Total tax paid
£3,392
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £2,360 to pay you £15,680. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £2.16 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6.6% tax rate now rises to 18.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
