Total tax paid
£33,485
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £11,022 to pay you £73,233. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £4.57 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.7% tax rate now rises to 39.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9% higher than what it seemed at first.
