Total tax paid
£4,422
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £2,681 to pay you £17,813. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £2.48 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.8% tax rate now rises to 21.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
