Total tax paid
£118,766
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £32,360 to pay you £215,016. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.52 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.2% tax rate now rises to 48.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
