Total tax paid
$1,845
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $179 to pay you $5,950. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.10 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28% tax rate now rises to 30.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
