Total tax paid
₨ 1,500
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₨ 1,250 to pay you ₨ 3,770. In other words, every time you spend ₨ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₨ 3.98 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6.6% tax rate now rises to 29.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 23.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
