Total tax paid
£394,111
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £97,825 to pay you £650,000. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £6.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.6% tax rate now rises to 52.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
