Total tax paid
£8,398
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £2,168 to pay you £14,408. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.83 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
50.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.2% tax rate now rises to 50.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
