Total tax paid
£37,238
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £11,990 to pay you £79,670. 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 31.7% tax rate now rises to 40.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
