Total tax paid
£11,154
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £4,778 to pay you £31,750. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £3.51 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.1% tax rate now rises to 30.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
