Total tax paid
£115,907
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £31,680 to pay you £210,500. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.51 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40% tax rate now rises to 47.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
