Total tax paid
£15,664
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £6,184 to pay you £41,088. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £3.81 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.1% tax rate now rises to 33.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
