Total tax paid
£401
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £97.22 to pay you £646. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £6.20 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
53.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 47% tax rate now rises to 53.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
