Total tax paid
£6,702
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £3,391 to pay you £22,533. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £2.97 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.7% tax rate now rises to 25.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
