Total tax paid
£591
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £591 to pay you £3,928. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £1.50 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
13.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0% tax rate now rises to 13.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
