Total tax paid
₨ 18,000
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₨ 15,000 to pay you ₨ 125,008. In other words, every time you spend ₨ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₨ 1.44 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
12.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 2.4% tax rate now rises to 12.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
