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 ₨ 157,200. In other words, every time you spend ₨ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₨ 1.15 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
10.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.9% tax rate now rises to 10.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
