Total tax paid
£36,937
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £11,913 to pay you £79,154. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £4.67 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.6% tax rate now rises to 40.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9% higher than what it seemed at first.
