Total tax paid
£88,039
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £25,043 to pay you £166,400. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.9% tax rate now rises to 46.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
