Total tax paid
£3,654
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £948 to pay you £6,300. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.80 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
50.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43% tax rate now rises to 50.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
