Total tax paid
£8,358
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £2,067 to pay you £13,731. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £6.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.8% tax rate now rises to 52.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
