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 ₨ 7,630. In other words, every time you spend ₨ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₨ 1.97 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 3.3% tax rate now rises to 16.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
