Total tax paid
£94,068
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £26,488 to pay you £175,998. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.4% tax rate now rises to 46.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
