Total tax paid
£226
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £95.42 to pay you £634. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £3.56 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.6% tax rate now rises to 31.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
