Total tax paid
GH₵ 2,794
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 1,426 to pay you GH₵ 10,968. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 2.55 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.5% tax rate now rises to 22.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
