Total tax paid
£3,869
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £922 to pay you £6,125. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £6.32 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
54.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 48.1% tax rate now rises to 54.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
