Total tax paid
£24,290
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £8,648 to pay you £57,462. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £4.23 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.2% tax rate now rises to 36.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
